Synopsis
The Rabbit Hole Society is a secret society of storytellers who meet in unique locations. Meetings are immersive by nature, allowing audience members the opportunity to explore trinkets and interact with society members. During each meeting, society members present three original short plays from the mind of Erika Jenko, transporting the audience into a whimsical world that explores themes of mental health.
Meetings align with the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter and all stories, trinkets and interactions are themed to the season. We hope you'll fall with us.
History
Growing up, I loved the friendship and trusted inner circles portrayed in the films Now and Then and Little Women (1994). I wanted to create a secret society of storytellers who brought original short plays to life. Spending a lot of time in the development phase of writing, I had seen my plays go through countless readings. Readings were always simple and meant to be a work in progress. I wanted to create a reading that was a finished product. Framing play readings as a secret society meeting allows the audience to be a part of an immersive environment where they are welcomed into a safe space to hear new stories come to life.--Erika Jenko
