Play in Your Bathtub: An Immersive Audio Spa for Physical Distancing is a site-specific immersive experience that takes place in your own bathtub.

Mee, and contains material written by and performed by the company: Jenny Lyn Bader, Ezra Brain, Marisa LaRuffa, Jonathan Matthews, Nicole Orabona, Amanda Thickpenny, and Colin Waitt.
