Whether an everyday occurrence or a shocking event, this collection of shorts explores the unsettling discoveries that can sometimes result from Ethereal Encounters. The stories include a girl suffering under the weight of a family tragedy drawn into a fairy tale universe where she encounters child-eating witches, giants, wolves and, ultimately, salvation; an American businesswoman who makes a harrowing discovery on a Tokyo subway; and a group of slackers who are changed forever by a voice coming from inside a peculiar wooden box. The program seeks to show how encounters from the mundane to the mysterious can hold surprising consequences. Please see below for a complete description of plays.

Good but not great. I found only one of the six plays (Lost and Found at the Hotel Mogador) bad. The others were interesting and good, and a couple were excellent. Given the price, it is worth attending.
