A THOUSAND WAYS (Part One): A Phone Call
A Thousand Ways is an enthralling, imaginative, and profound social experience that delivers us from isolation to congregation. Part One: A Phone Call – Pick up the phone. Someone is on the line. You don’t know their name, and you still won’t when the hour is over, but through this exchange – as you follow a thread of automated prompts – a portrait of your partner will emerge through fleeting moments of exposure. This is an invitation. Will you attend?
A Thousand Ways is a quietly radical response to this new world from Obie Award-winning theatremakers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theatre.
“Never before have I felt so closely intimate to a person just through the sound of their voice.” Audience Member
“Just when you thought you might be getting a little cynical about the theater…think about 600 HIGHWAYMEN.” The New Yorker
“The standard-bearers of contemporary theater-making” Le Monde
“Simple but sublime…the show alerts us to the awesome strangeness, and the utter ordinariness, too, of being alive in the here and now.” The New York Times
