Internationally celebrated Austin, Texas theater collective Rude Mechs have been delighting audiences with what they describe as a “genre-defying cocktail of big ideas, cheap laughs, and dizzying spectacle” for seventeen years. The company makes its Durham debut with Now Now Oh Now, an immersive theatrical experience that explores the nature of beauty, evolution, choice, and chance.

Leading an intimate audience of only thirty people through a two-part cabinet of wonders in Duke’s Sheafer Theater, Rude Mechs combine serious scientific content with the nerdy pleasures of interactive gaming and the undeniable satisfaction of Murder Mystery Theatre. An evening full of surprises for performers and audience alike, “Now Now Oh Now is a delightful way to have your mind blown” (Austin Chronicle).
