Unlike conventional escape rooms, this experience demands a shift in perspective, as solving this puzzle will take patience, mindfulness, and deep listening. This interactive journey, inspired by the teachings of Mr. Rogers, will be a collective exploration of what it truly means to be a good neighbor The world premiere run of Won’t you be my May-bor? will begin at Mayday Escape Rooms located in the Victor Jory Theater before heading out to Owensboro, Hazard, and other communities throughout Kentucky. The May 31 performance is a special FREE sneak peek supported by the Fund for the Arts.
