What is truth, and what is just a matter of perspective? Prism breaks your stories apart, revealing how different characters interpret the same events in wildly different ways. Was it a simple misunderstanding, a calculated betrayal, or just a comedy of errors? That depends on whose version you believe.
This show blends humor, drama, and mystery to explore how our own biases shape the stories we tell. In each performance, our improvisers will take the audience on a journey through shifting perspectives, uncovering new details, hidden motives, and unexpected twists. Prism is an ever-evolving theatrical experiment that challenges what we think we know—about a story, about each other, and about the very nature of truth itself.
