RED FLAGS
What does it take to find hope
each day?
A highly interactive recreation of a bad first date. One audience member at a time has a night out with "Emma" - a woman struggling to make sense of her life in Los Angeles. Over the course of their hour alone together, the audience member and Emma get to know one another intimately, exploring risk, disappointment, and the cost of perpetual hope.
