NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS

Reggie Thomas, professor of music and head of jazz studies and his wife, jazz vocalist Mardra Thomas are part of the cast of characters and performers in the immersive, online musical experience, “Into the Mist” developed by Evanston artist Steve Rashid.

Into the Mist is performed live every Friday in April, online beginning at 9 p.m. CDT, tickets are $18, and the creators say the show is best experienced on a computer rather than a mobile device or tablet.

In the live, immersive experience, Flappers, bootleg liquor, silent films and more await you in a maze of hallways and secret passageways featuring a cast of world-class performers.

At times those viewing the show will simply be watching, but at other times they may interact with a room’s inhabitants. T?he evening culminates with a performance by the band, Chicago Cellar Boys.
