The Liminary

History is the stories you choose to tell.

You have heard stories about the “Liminary.” A place of hope, refuge, and resistance against the tyrannical U.S. government. You have heard that the best way to escape the Agency for Assimilation and American Activities (4A) is by disappearing into the Liminary’s network. So you have arrived to discover if the America they are working towards is an America we can be.

In Last Call Theatre’s latest immersive, interactive experience, The Liminary, participants are welcomed to a safehouse in the year 2042, a year that the U.S. Census Bureau once predicted the nation would comprise a minority-majority, with white Americans making up less than 50% of the population. In this world, the U.S. never reaches that statistic. Instead, a nationalistic, isolationist government maintains a stranglehold on its people, immigration to and from the U.S. has ceased, and the system seeks to destroy anything and anyone deemed “un-American.” Still, there are always those who will fight back against tyranny, and the residents of the “Liminary” are part of that resistance. Will you join them?

With interactive exhibits around immigration, community, and hope as well as multiple endings and narratives crafted by and around the stories of immigrants in our community, The Liminary invites you on the journey of the American experiment we are all on together.

Last Call Theatre's The Liminary will also be supporting two local immigrant rights non-profits: Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) and the International Institute of Los Angeles (IILA). 

How to support CHIRLA & IILA?

• Bring donations of school supplies & hygiene kits! These kits will be assembled as part of the show and donated to IILA at the conclusion of the run. You can check out the full list here.
• Buy concessions! 50% of all concession sales will be donated to CHIRLA.
