Two Weeks Earlier: I am walking down an incredibly steep mountain path. It’s almost enough to make me turn back, but two things keep me going. First, I’ve lost a ton of weight since the last time I traveled a mountain path like this one. Second, the reason I even contemplated today’s journey was because […]
I crouch behind a wooden door, peeking past a frantic, frightened and frustrated poet toward the room beyond. I see a figure out of a nightmare: a woman screeching a discordant melody on a violin. The poet turns and whispers that the figure must be Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy. As if she hears him, […]
There is something magical about the concept of time. We experience it as something that can only go forward. What has come before is forever lost to us and as specific moments or eras move further away from us, they become ever more elusive. We become enamored of them, curious about them, even fantasizing about […]
Imagine taking the classic whodunit board game Clue and turning it into a fun night of puzzle-solving and eliminating suspects. That’s what you’re in for when you experience Vote for Murder, one of the better immersive ‘game’ events in recent years. After nearly having their entire event murdered by unexpected problems with their original site, […]

As someone who has a strong background in Live Action Role Play (LARP) experiences, I love trying them out whenever I get the chance. So when Aaron Vanek announced that his entry for this year’s Fringe would be an ’80s-themed rock band story with a murder, I was happy to join in the festivities. Rock […]
Choosing to go to a one-person show at the Hollywood Fringe Festival can be a game of chance. Sometimes you see a theatrical experience that is extraordinary; sometimes the experience is far more mundane. But what you do normally see is a production that focuses, in one way or another, on the life of the […]
I want to start this review by saying that, while I’ve personally played through more than 100 escape rooms and I absolutely love them as a hobby, I cannot consider myself to be an expert on them. Not yet, anyway (although I keep trying – someday there will be an escape room written by my […]
Annie Lesser began her ABC Project with A(partment 8), which delighted critics and fans alike. That production was intimate and moving and resonated in the minds of participants long after they walked out of it. With a goal of producing 26 different immersive experiences tied thematically together simply by their alphabetical titles, Lesser now brings […]
