Submersive Productions presents See Also, a site-specific, immersive theater experience exploring Baltimore’s historic George Peabody Library and other Johns Hopkins collections.
Submersive Productions takes over the George Peabody Library for three consecutive evenings, exploring questions like: What is collected here? Who was given the power to choose these materials? Are there forgotten or lesser-known stories hidden here? What is left out? Come and consider these questions during an immersive, "choose your own adventure" style show, See Also.
Following threads (both figurative and literal) around the George Peabody Library, participants will encounter visual art, soundscapes, and performers portraying character composites based on historical women and non-binary individuals from the collections of the Johns Hopkins University Sheridan Libraries and University Museums. The performance will culminate in the world premiere of a work by contemporary female composer Briay Conditt.

Presented by In the Stacks, the John Hopkins University Sheridan Libraries, and Submersive Productions.
