It all starts with a Facebook notification. iConfidant made a new post. That can’t be right, I think. iConfidant was a side story in Darren Lynn Bousman’s 2017 Lust Experience, and it ended very badly for them. What participants thought was a chance to connect on a deep level with a specifically designed “best friend” […]
Captain Jackson is mid-way through his career, jaded, with a wry sense of humor, but he’s not cracking jokes now. It’s dark where he sits in the cockpit, so dark he can’t see a thing, not the clock, not the controls, not the sky outside, and he’s in a full, complex panic. But his rising […]
I love a good spy caper, doubly so if I myself am playing the spy. When Safehouse ’77 came onto the immersive theater scene two years ago, it was an incredible twist on a traditional spy story that inspired audiences and performers alike. Now, with the long-awaited sequel Safehouse ‘82, creators and writers Nick Rheinwald-Jones […]
Reyna Velarde’s reputation precedes her: The Chainsaw Queen, the legendary extreme haunt actress. I’ve heard about her, but I’ve never…well… “worked” with her before tonight. While I wait for the car to pick myself and my group up, the waivers, and the inevitable blindfold as we’re walked to our final destination, to say I’m nervous […]
I’ve made a terrible mistake. I’ve been unfaithful to my wife, Maggie. I tried to make it right, breaking things off with my mistress, Margot, but nothing’s ever simple, least of all her. Now Maggie’s missing, and Margot keeps sending me these pictures. It looks like skin, rope, and…is that blood? My phone chirps to […]
I’ve never seen someone play piano quite the way Simon Barrow does. While other musicians gracefully move along with the notes, Simon’s performance feels less like a coordinated dance with his instrument and more like an argument. It’s as if he’s fighting the keys, locked in some kind of war. The music he’s producing sounds […]

The woman in clinician’s clothes gently straps a viewing device onto my head, repeatedly checking the straps and clips that hold it into place. Headphones block out the sounds of milling patrons outside the little tent we sit in as the steady thump of dance music begins to thrum louder from within their soft padding. […]
There’s a room in my mind that’s full of stars. Not real stars, but little twinkling bulbs that glow steadily along the wall, each point of light like a story. That’s what memories are, I suppose – personal stories, good and bad, collected within our minds, tucked away in that room. And for a brief […]
In Trailblazer Production’s Touch: Incarnation, the sensations are constant: elegant fingers gently squeezing, poking, and tapping along my body. Robbed of my sight, I am able to focus on my other senses, and none is more important now than touch. This connection, fleeting and fervent, with those around me, as their skin briefly presses against […]
