Actors will delight spectators through short form games heavily guided by audience participation and suggestions. The show is appropriate for teenagers and up.

Margery Dodge, a recent audience member at an Ever Chasing Alchemy show at the Whitney Center in Hamden, Connecticut exclaimed, “It was a treat to watch those young people and to enjoy all they communicated through body language and voice”. The first show launches on Thursday, August 4th at Oddfellows Playhouse; located at 128 Washington Street in Middletown, while the second will dazzle viewers on Friday, August 5th at the Arts Hall on 55 Audubon Street in New Haven.
