Listen
is not a normal play…
What if your headphones tuned you in instead of out?
South Carolina Children’s Theatre invites you to experience Listen, a groundbreaking new theatrical event written and directed by West Hyler. Combining the energy of a high school prom, the intrigue of a mystery, and the thrill of a silent disco, Listen is an immersive journey like no other.
A Show Like You’ve Never Seen Before
At the heart of Listen are three DJs—DJ Veronica (Green), DJ Cesario (Red), and DJ Charles (Blue)—each guiding their audience members through a different perspective on the same mysterious story. With your own pair of synchronized headphones, you’ll decide which DJ to follow and which version of the story to uncover. Want to switch it up? Channel-hop at intermission and see the mystery unfold in a brand-new way!
It all leads back to prom—a lively dance break where you can shake it off before diving back into the intrigue.
Immersive, Interactive, and Totally Unforgettable
Written by Broadway director and playwright West Hyler, Listen isn’t just a show—it’s an experience. With action happening all around you, no two audience members will have the same journey. One moment, you’ll be following clues like a detective, and the next, you’ll be on the dance floor at the most exciting prom of the year.
So grab your friends, pick your channel, and get ready for an electrifying adventure. Listen is a theatrical event you won’t want to miss!
