As The Maze, a Big Brother-type "reality" television show, gets ready for their big live finale, the house is invaded by a mysterious, uninvited family of characters who insist that they aren't people at all but actual characters sprung to life from the imagination of an author. In front of the cameras and the live audience, the cast and crew wrestle with what is really real vs. what is true and how to transform their life stories into art and entertainment. Twin Cities playwright and director Alan Berks brings this landmark of modern theatre into the 21st century world of social media, celebrity, and unscripted TV.
