An actor takes the role of Prospero – in my case it was the very talented Terence Leclere – guiding proceedings by reciting the story, advancing the scenes and most importantly, guiding the group to enact various roles and bring the narrative to life
CNet:
Think of the host as a type of dungeon master that can summon objects, transport the players to new locations or weave a story together. We became the pieces that made his tale a reality.

No Proscenium:
stalwart of the Los Angeles immersive theatre scene, Terence Leclere... provides a warm, meta-welcome to the experience.
Leclere has a way of speaking that’s simply hypnotic; his poetic, dulcet tones quickly put me at ease...
Terence talks with Noah Nelson about his company #metaforyou and immersive interactive theater on the No Proscenium Podcast; also:
"...the quick-witted cast rose to the occasion. Their improv skills encouraged participants to question and investigate as much as they liked — they were never out of their depth. What’s more, they frequently turned the spotlight back on the audience, noting their mood, their willingness or unwillingness to engage... With talent of this caliber drawing the audience in, it was impossible to stay on the sidelines." About immersive interactive improv ensemble work

Variety:
"fully present", "excellent"
LAist:
"hilarious and memorable"; "Terence Leclere conveys a perfectly discerning delicacy and empathic angst…” & “Leclere also has a weird, but ultimately compelling Dan Aykroyd kind of vibe that we really dig."
Backstage:
"pricelessly funny"
The Huffington Post:
"I can see his courage... as he stands on the stage, speaking a truth that might seem on the surface embarrassing..., but under the embarrassment, is the story of connection and longing for shared experience. That’s what his story was about: how, inside our solitary hearts, we all share in each other’s shame and pleasure, pain and joy."
A.V. Club:
"painfully cute"
StageSceneLA:
"Leclere is so convincing as the sexy German that I had to stay after the performance to verify that he is indeed a New Yorker and not auf Deutchland"
