Immersive THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN SCRIBE To Return Off-Broadway

After two sold-out runs at Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre, THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN SCRIBE: INITIATION TEA returns for an encore run at Caveat (21A Clinton Street, Manhattan, 10002) beginning February 10, 2024. This unique theatrical experience described by No Proscenium as "a deliciously diabolical combination of afternoon tea, cult ceremony, and puzzle-solving mayhem" is created by Shuai Chen and Arlo Howard and directed by Arlo Howard.

The secretive and very exclusive Order of the Golden Scribe has cordially invited you to become a member. Now you just have to pass the tasks assigned to you at the official Initiation Tea ceremony. You and your fellow initiates will work together to decipher clues, solve puzzles, and unlock teas, finger sandwiches, scones, and desserts. It's all fun and games... but be careful who you speak to and try not to raise suspicion. Pay attention, and you might discover that there is something else afoot. At THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN SCRIBE: INITIATION TEA, not everything is as it appears to be. Can the Order be trusted?

THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN SCRIBE: INITIATION TEA was named a "2023 Best of Immersive Experience" by No Proscenium and recipient of Room Escape Artist's "2023 Golden Lock Award." It was developed as part of the 2023 artist-in-residence program at Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre.
