Overheard on a Train
by Cheerful Secrets

Apr. 18 - May. 23
Saturdays

So let’s say you’re on public transit, eavesdropping on a group’s conversation. (No shame—we do it, too.)

You ever wonder what it would be like to live that life? To dip into their daily drama? Now’s your chance!

Join us for Overheard on a Train, and see what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

Except, you’re not walking—because you’re on a train.

And also—it’s longer than a mile.

And also—you wear your own shoes.

Overheard on a Train is an interactive experience that takes place on board Austin’s metrorail. You and three friends will sign up as a group, and receive a script when you board the train. During the journey, your foursome will read the script to each other, out loud. (It’s a “table read,” and you are the actors!)

Your collective story will unfold as you turn each page and deliver each line. Choose which storyline your group likes best, such as THE BAND, or THE BACHELORETTE PARTY, or THE BANK ROBBERS—and we’re now offering THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, for kids and families!
