Outside the March has been commissioned by B Street Collaborative in partnership with Harbourfront Centre to create a major new immersive production over the next three years! The as-yet-untitled project will be the spiritual successor to The Ministry of Mundane Mysteries, OtM’s wildly successful phone-based pandemic production, and The Tape Escape, 2019’s escape room-fueled immersive takeover of the former Queen Video Bathurst location. Like those past productions, it will be created by the OtM core team and associate artists alongside dynamic collaborations with guest artists.
“The majority of OtM’s flagship productions are playwright-driven new works or immersive takes on existing scripts. But Mundane Mysteries and Tape Escape represent another approach: form-busting, collectively-created projects devices and driven by the company itself. They’re two of the projects we talk about (and hear about from our audiences!) the most because they represent what OtM is best at: deeply collaborative, highly imaginative works with the audience’s experience as their beating heart. We’re honoured by the support of B Street Collaborative and Harbourfront Centre. Their investment is allowing us to prioritize making art that’s truest to our values.”
