Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Buy a ticket to Run Ben Run through the Ticketleap link on the home page, or sign up for the mailing list on the Contact page..
Check with the group before you show up.
What to expect
A visit is a live staged play performed by the company's performers and directed by its director. The current show is a satire built around the painting American Progress. The pages we checked did not give the running time or the price, so confirm both on the ticket page.
Tips for your first visit
- Buy tickets ahead on Ticketleap, since the pages we checked do not say whether tickets are sold at the door.
- Read the digital program on the Run Ben Run page before the show. It covers the painting behind the play.
- Email appmechsinfo@gmail.com with access questions, since the site lists no accessibility details.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Shows are open to the public and tickets are sold online. The workshops page lists classes that suit theater people, but it gives no date for the next one and no way to join the company itself..
