Below is our review of ABC Interactive‘s Covell In the Cloud, a new, remote version of Annie Lesser’s Covell (read our review of the original HERE). Not long into the Covell in the Cloud’s pre-game festivities I get yoinked out of the main Zoom channel, called “Center of the Room,” into a breakout titled […]
It’s a Tuesday morning, and I’m sipping coffee as I dial in, clicking on the “Open Zoom” link that I’ve become so familiar with these past two months. When BJ answers, the head of RFIDirect’s IT and Security is as energetic and cheerful as ever, letting me know that after the recent hack, the company […]
I never once thought I could shed my fur, my skin, and my muscles, becoming completely a skeleton out in the wild, or at least in the middle of a park. But that’s exactly what happened. Not only did I shed my outer physical layers, but I shed the insecurities I have about my own […]
Immersive creator Annie Lesser has produced something different this year, something positive. If you’re unfamiliar with her more recent work, her shows tend to be dark and heavy, like her highly praised A(partment 8). But this year for the Hollywood Fringe Festival, she wants to put smiles on faces and spread good vibes to all […]

Annie Lesser’s “Death and Coffee” is a casual, heavy chat between audience member and lesser about the loss of her Grandfather. It’s both moving and self-reflective. A “must” of the Fringe.
For the second year in a row, the Hollywood Fringe has designated “immersive theatre” as one of the official categories of performance for their yearly festival. This year we’ll be treated to a deliciously broad range of experiences from both familiar voices and first time creators stretching the definition of immersive theatre in a dozen […]
Annie Lesser, the creative heart behind the successful ABC Project, follows up on her stirring D(istillery) with E(levator), Students, and Friends: an ambitious series of productions exploring mental health from diverse and varied viewpoints. The stories gently intersect in a way that allows participants to feel they’ve completed a moving journey if they only are […]
People around us just do the best they can, don’t they? Annie Lesser’s ABC Project is more than just an ambitious undertaking; it’s one of the most refreshing, creative, and innovative approaches to immersive theatre to date. D(istillery,) the fourth installment, is no exception. While not as “interactive” as previous ABC pieces, D(istillery) makes […]
