Welcome to Respite is a psychological-thriller that explores the parts of our mind that both help us and haunt us through the lens of a mental illness called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

The Severance Theory: Welcome to Respite will have its international premier in the Venice VR Expanded, the official Virtual Reality competition section of the 78th Venice International Film Festival, the world's oldest film festival. Welcome to Respite is a standalone experience and the first chapter of The Severance Theory, a four-part series.

Audience members traverse memories, dreams, emotional and real battlefields, coming in contact with a multitude of characters from Dalton Trumbo's life and novel, as we re-visit Johnny's childhood loves, family members, war room generals, soldiers, nurses, and even major religious figures, each performed to perfection while maintaining the ability to guide and interact with audience members who are often asked to participate and/or share comments during each scene. Soon it becomes apparent in THE JOHNNY CYCLE that each character, whether intentional or not, has sent Johnny to his destiny as he desperately struggles to be heard, trapped between the living and the dead without a voice. Immersive theater at its best!

Tickets are now on sale for the much anticipated production The Johnny Cycle by The Speakeasy Society.
