Welcome to your new nightlife. Eschaton, now open for previews, is a virtual club and immersive experience built for audiences in quarantine. Set in a recently shuttered nightclub, the show explores what theatrical nightlife looks like in isolation — it’s alive and well, but forever changed. Running weekly on Saturdays at 7p PST/10p EST, the experience begins on a custom-designed landing page and then launches guests into a maze of Zoom meetings. Each Zoom “room” is hosted by a different world-class performer, from burlesque dancers to DJs to performance artists.
Eschaton is the first of its kind — a virtual nightclub and immersive experience laced with escape-room-like puzzles. There are mysteries to uncover and performers to interact with. The sprawling world spills over into reality as select audience members are rewarded with secret tokens for solving mysteries throughout the experience.
We will email the link to enter Eschaton the day of the show about 15 minutes before show time. For the best viewing experience, please download the Zoom Client for meetings on your computer. We recommend viewing on a computer, but please have your cell phone on hand as you may need it throughout the experience. If you do not have an iPhone, please also have WhatsApp downloaded on your phone. Your video and audio capabilities may be turned on throughout the experience. Get comfortable, have your laptop and phone fully charged to avoid distractions, plug in your headphones, pour yourself a drink, and be in your seat promptly at show time. Get ready to enter our hazy, neon-drenched world where entertainment awaits. The performers are in the wings, and anything can happen in Eschaton…
