WHERE: OBERON, 2 Arrow Street, Cambridge
WHAT: In a not-so alternative reality, this show heralds the opening of a new club after a tech giant has retrofitted the venue with holographic A.R. - A kind of smart Photoshop for live theater - promising a brave new world of "Theater of the Undying." As with any uber-tech, all inherent paradoxes have been accounted for with absolutely no change of failure!
