    WHAT CRITICS SAY

    "He's the Tom Cruise of immersive theatre"*

    - Darren Lynn Bousman

     

    *although these days Terence is more like the Ted Lasso of immersive theatre, via his company #metaforyou

     

    No Proscenium:

    The Immersive 5 interview

    Terence talks with Noah Nelson about his company #metaforyou on the No Proscenium Podcast

    Terence talks more with Noah Nelson about his company #metaforyou and immersive interactive theater on the No Proscenium Podcast

    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...

    Vice:
    Terence talks TEMPEST and The Under Presents by Tender Claws 

    VRFocus:
    "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."

    Eye on Immersive:

    Terence Leclere [...] bring[s] your attention on yourself and how you feel, readying you for what is to come.

    Immersed:
    "Bringing Immersive Home: An Exclusive Interview with the Mind Behind Metaforyou";
    "Terence Leclere disguising the mesmerizing level of vulnerability in his eyes with a façade of leading-man bravado";
    A recollection through the immersive Tension Experience featuring Terence

    Broadway World:
    "tall" "oversexed" "party boy"

    The Verge:
    Terence featured in an article about immersive interactive storytelling in music festivals

    Stage Raw:
    chilling, climactic”, “otherworldly

    LA Weekly:
    mordantly hilarious”, “a soulful standout

    Buzzfeed:
    gifted”, “hilarious”, “totally owning the role

    Hollywood Fringe:
    "Of note, I could have stared into the Anthony Perkins-like glare of Terence Leclere all night long."

    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"
