About A Simple Herstory + Season 1 w/ Quills Fest @ The Merchant's House Museum
Led by a star-studded team — Cecil Baldwin ("Welcome to Night Vale"), Donya K. Washington (OSF Festival Producer), Jocelyn Kuritsky ("KPOP") — and in collaboration with The Tank, this is an exciting, exclusive invitation to participate in an early-stage, work-in-progress experiment. This event turns the critically acclaimed audio drama podcast, "A Simple Herstory," into an immersive audio experience at the storied location of the Merchant’s House Museum in New York City’s Lower East Side. Participants have the unique opportunity to contribute to the making of this new project by being “playtesters” to try out the individual, promenade audio experience that is mapped throughout the house. The playtest will end with a feedback session with the artists. More.
