FAQs:
What if I just want to watch, and not interact?
If you are not interested in interacting with Secret Admirer and just want to watch, you can go straight to the Twitch link. You do not need to have an account to watch the stream, but you won’t be able to post in the chat without one. Even if you choose not to interact, we still recommend watching the show in Theater Mode so that you can follow along in the chat and see how your fellow audience members are interacting with the show!
Are there any other kinds of interaction in the show I should know about?
There are optional points of interaction when you can open a new browser window to view something, and when you can call a phone number and listen to something. These are not critical to your experience of the show – if you don't want to do this, just watch the Twitch chat and some of your fellow audiences members will let you know what's there!
Will I be pulled on to the show? Will people see my face?
Nope! Not in this show!
You should keep your camera and mic off in Zoom throughout the show – we'll re-mute you if you come unmuted by mistake!
What do I need to watch on Twitch?
You can watch without an account at our Twitch channel. To interact live via the chat function, you'll need to make and log into a Twitch account!
What time zone are your events listed in?
We are located in the lovely (and often foggy!) Seattle, Washington, so all of our events are listed in Pacific Time.
What does "sliding scale" mean? Are there different experiences?
We ticket all our shows on a "sliding scale," which means there are different tiered price options, and there is always a pay-what-you-can option! There is no difference in experience between the tiers – they are just for you to identify the price that works best for you.
