Welcome aboard the J. Peters Reality Tour – an immersive, high-stakes voyage through the thrilling, unpredictable, and downright perplexing daily life of one man navigating the labyrinth of mental health, community living, and relentless errands. This isn’t your ordinary sightseeing trip. Forget skyscrapers and historical landmarks – this tour explores the unfiltered microcosm of suburban dysfunction, complete with urine-soaked nostalgia and the delicate art of politely accusing social service agencies of crimes against humanity.

Act One: The Yonkers Prelude

Time: 9:00 AM (sharp-ish, depending on how long it takes Mr. Peters to get his shoes on)

Location: 411 Bronx River Road, Yonkers – The building that barely qualifies as “luxury living” but proudly claims its quirks.

The tour launches from the famed residence of Mr. Peters, an unassuming high-rise pulsating with stories too awkward for reality TV but too absurd to keep to oneself. Guests will gather in the lobby, met by Salvatore, the building superintendent and unofficial documentarian of Mr. Peters’s more colorful escapades.

Salvatore will regale guests with a detailed recounting of Mr. Peters’s transformation from mild-mannered Max E. Guttman to the enigmatic Jacques Peters, complete with gesticulations and exaggerated sighs. The highlight reel will include:

•The Great Fecal Incident of 2021 – wherein Peters, confronted by an out-of-service toilet, decided that the incinerator chute doubled as a plumbing fixture.

•The Elevator Confessional – spontaneous monologues delivered to unwitting neighbors trapped between floors.

•The One-Man Housing Protest – a shirtless Peters waving vaguely worded legal documents at Salvatore’s window at 7 AM.

After absorbing Salvatore’s storytelling (with questionable accuracy), guests will finally meet the star of the show: Mr. Peters, now fully transformed, striding out of the elevator like a man who’s accidentally hit “Lobby” instead of “Basement.”

Act Two: Culinary Indulgence at McDonald’s

Stop One: McDonald’s across the street.

Why venture across town when gourmet dining is just steps away? Guests will witness Mr. Peters’s decision-making process in real time – the agony of choosing between a McDouble or splurging on two apple pies for $1.50. You’ll experience the thrill of watching Peters dissect the nutritional content of each item, only to order whatever has the highest caloric value.

Interactive Moment:

•Guests are invited to place their own orders, mirroring Mr. Peters’s snack-based philosophy of life. All must partake in the sacred tradition of dipping fries in barbecue sauce procured from Salvatore’s secret condiment stash.

Act Three: Human Development Services (A Spectacle of Subtle Chaos)

Next stop – HDSW, where Mr. Peters participates in his weekly performance art piece titled:

“You Call This Care? I Demand Recompense!”

Witness as Peters, embodying a Shakespearean blend of rage and disappointment, accuses staff of theft, incompetence, and mild sorcery.

•“WHERE IS MY METROCARD?” Peters will bellow dramatically, despite the Metrocard being tucked safely in his wallet.

•Guests may capture photos of bemused care managers as they nod sympathetically but move precisely zero inches closer to solving Peters’s non-problems.

Act Four: The Pilgrimage to Hartsdale (and the House that Raised Him)

Leaving behind the wreckage of HDSW’s emotional landscape, the tour bus ventures to the heart of suburban bliss – Mr. Peters’s childhood home in Hartsdale.

Key Attractions:

•Witness Peters urinate with shameless conviction on the side of the house, invoking the spirit of teenage rebellion and bladder dysfunction.

•Partake in the rare privilege of demanding that Peters’s mother prepares a meal for everyone, while Peters reassures her, “Don’t worry, Mom, they’re just here for the show.”

•Experience Peters attempting to nap mid-tour – an avant-garde display of passive resistance against structured events.

Act Five: Medical Theater at Phelps Hospital

No reality tour would be complete without a brief foray into psychiatric medication. At Phelps Hospital, guests will accompany Mr. Peters to receive his monthly Intramuscular Injection (IM) – a riveting, behind-the-scenes look at the delicate balance of modern psychotropic treatment.

Audience Participation:

•Guests will document Peters’s fluctuating demeanor post-injection. Was that smile real? Is he genuinely calm, or just rebooting?

•Answer Peters’s post-IM survey on whether his paranoia appears 25%, 50%, or 75% reduced. (Final results may be arbitrary.)

The Grand Finale: Returning to Yonkers (Full Circle Chaos)

As the bus wheels back to 411 Bronx River Road, passengers will brace themselves for the conclusion – a cathartic, full-circle moment where Peters marks his territory by urinating by the dumpster, citing gravity as his ultimate adversary.

Bonus Content:

•Passengers can tip Peters for an impromptu speech on “How to Argue with an Inanimate Object” (based on true events involving a jammed laundry machine).

•Free fingerless gloves will be distributed to those brave enough to make eye contact with Peters post-tour.

Ticketing Information:

Tickets will tentatively be available on Eventbrite next week, depending on whether Peters remembers to log into his account. Early bird specials include complimentary awkward side-eye glances from Peters during the tour.
