The centerpiece of the experience, says spokeswoman Amber Blais, is a pre-show spread of locally prepared food from Brian Crowe of Devil's Food, Noah French of Sugarmill, Fuel Cafe's Bob Blair and Amerigo's Iain Chisholm. But sight, touch, hearing and smell will also be part of the mix, with such innovations as illusionistic projection mapping, dancers leaping among the audience, specially blended scents from perfumer Michelle Roark and dark folk tunes from musician Jesse Manley and his band, interspersed throughout the evening.
“The story is like a dark fairy tale,” Blais notes. “This isn't for families; it's more of a night out for adults, like a date night. We want it to be an experience from the second you walk in the door.”
