A new location-based entertainment concept that combines interactive theater with emerging technologies is coming soon to Sugar Land Town Square. Department of Wonder, a 10,000-square-foot venue at 15958 City Walk that will look to stage an immersive, mixed-reality fantasy, is slated to open in early 2022, according to a Dec. 8 announcement. The entertainment concept will serve as an anchor inside the 32-acre pedestrian-friendly Sugar Land Town Square, and its opening will coincide with the completion of significant streetscape improvements to Sugar Land Town Square, which is in the midst of a major set of upgrades to retail tenancy, event programming and the physical environment, according to the announcement. Lionstone Investments, Rebees and Planned Community Developers are directing the evolution. www.deptofwonder.com
