<blockquote>Enter into the dream-like world of the Mirage Machine. Combining traditional improv with surreal imagery and characters, the Machine creates a show based off an audience member's single dream. They combine this story with their unique no-edit based editing, where players simply begin new scenes within other scenes. </blockquote>
