 UPDATE 2024-06-26:

• LIFE AND TRUST cancelled today's show at about 8:15 PM tonight reportedly due to technical difficulties with the audio. Let's see how well they handle this for an audience that waited for an hour or so for the show to start and spent whatever time and costs it took to make it to the show. New shows are new; and complex immersive shows are hard.

• By the way, they provide accessibility services for people who cannot run and climb stairs, and these services are gracious and helpful.

• Sleep No More has been extend until September 29.

SLEEP NO MORE may be going to sleep soon.  (They have posted closing notices, but extended at least once). BUT ... LIFE AND TRUST is a new project from Emursive Productions (the producers of Sleep No More).

I know almost nothing about Life and Trust, except that it takes place in a building around Wall Street, and seems to have a financial theme: No full description, preview, or review so far, that I have seen.  (*** UPDATES! see below). 

{I've bought a ticket for late June; there are performances starting June 17 ("Sold Out"), and (at least, as of 6:42 May 13) tickets available beginning June 19.}

From the terms and conditions (I don't think my ticket terms included an NDA) it seems similar in format to Sleep No More:

• Masks are provided and required; 
• the show/event takes place over several levels (there are easy, free accommodations for hearing, visual, and mobility issues); 
• and they note that visitors should "be aware that Life And Trust guests may encounter scenes with nudity and depictions of violence, sexuality and intense psychological scenarios".
