The game premiered at Stanford University Pigott Theater in Stanford, California, May 2019. Other performances took place in Des Moines, Los Angeles, New York and Tampa. In addition to the US, it was presented in Australia, UK and Kenya. For the first time in the 87-year history of this award, it was nominated for a performance that did not come to Broadway or off-Broadway.
