On Day 2 of our Trip we came to Wilmington, Delaware to be at the World Premiere of a new musical show - “Other World”
This is a show written by Ann McNamee, Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen - that deeply explores the world of “gaming” - as a group of game fans struggle to keep their online game open - as it is being shut down. Music, amazing performances, over 80 costumes and a story that kept the audience laughing and emoting for several hours.
And, Other World was developed along the way with a one week residential workshop that we hosted at The MASIE Center over 6 years ago. Last night, it was an honor to be guests at the opening in Delaware! The words WOW, WOW and WOW come to mind.
Other World will have a fascinating future as it progresses. The show highlights the role of trust, love, gaming, fantasy and empathy is a changing world! The audience was encouraged to dress in costume if they wanted and the opening was unlike any that we have ever attended.
