Inspired by the success of 'Sleep No More' in NYC, 'Play/Date' is a new theater bar experience where customers get to mingle and interact with each other, as well as actors as a story unfolds over the course of two hours.
Play/Date features 25 one act plays at Fat Baby, locatedon the Lower East Side of New York. Just like a real theatrical production, the bar is outfitted with advanced sound systems, dramatic lighting and microphones. Audience interaction is what pulls the performances together, no matter how different the storylines may be. This is a huge part of what makes the experience something to try over and over again, since different people and different actors will offer a unique version each time.
