When You Close Your Eyes

By Jessa Richer

Sisters, you’ve been chosen to learn the greatest truth. Makeshift Company has made the official production debut with sister Jessa Richer’s original new horror musical, “When You Close Your Eyes.” The Direction and The Dramaturgy by sister Ally Chozik.

Abandon The Container, and come learn what lies beyond this world. Don’t be a bad sister and miss it.

The Mother Moon invites all its children into The Desolate Town, where sister Delaney, led by sister Vera finally finds what we all search for … The Escape. The sisters ask The Question … what is The Real Want? How far would you go to get it? Cut The Strings, and find out. For when you close your eyes is when you really see.
