What is a Narrated Black-Box Performance?

Our Narrated Black-Box Performance is a type of performance used when there are many scenes which require narration to help the audience understand the transitions in-between. The actors will fully perform the scenes and the narrator will guide you through the overall story.

Fifth Planet will include a 30-minute talk-back immediately following the play.
