In the past few months, digital storytelling has evolved with creators finding novel and innovative ways and mediums in which to tell their stories. While Pixel Playhouse was formed in 2018, their work is leading the way in terms of creating some of the best and most interesting digital work out there. In their latest […]
It’s a lively night in Hollywood. People laugh, drink, and sing along with the musical that’s happening all around my table. As we raise our faux lighters that glow instead of ignite, the actors stream directly past me, belting some of the most classic pop-rock of all time. It may be 2020 on the streets […]
It’s dark. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme has just finished administering a tab of acid to each of us in the group. A blacklight turns on, illuminating the four once-black walls now covered in wild, white scribbled messages. These ceiling-to-floor anarchic rantings and ravings are spilled straight from Charles Manson’s maniacal mastermind. My eyes glow with wonder […]
The following article was co-written with Taylor Winters. cages A narrow alleyway awaits. Crooked little buildings all huddled together, a little too close – almost as if they are trying to get far away from something. I begin walking down the brick pathway and find an odd hole with words scratched next to it: […]
A paper boat floats down the petite gutter river; a little boy chasing from behind. The boat – the S.S. Georgie – picks up speed and sails down the sewer drain, far out of the little boy’s reach. Luckily for him, the sewer is not empty, but home to a friendly clown named Pennywise, who […]
Her skirt is a white river, flowing down the staircase. The loose fabric tangles beneath her, and the woman screams as she tumbles into the wooden step. Scrambling to her feet, she reaches the top, and tries doorway after doorway – one locked, one a kill chamber, one leading to a dead end – and […]
Nearly 7 feet tall with a green-tinged face, The Creature stomps forward to the front of the stage. He glares at the audience as his creator, Frederick Frankenstein, whips off The Creature’s medical gown and reveals that underneath is a dashing tuxedo. As Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’ on the Ritz” begins, The Creature’s horrible-looking face transforms […]
Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years takes a simple premise – a love story – and disarticulates it, putting the protagonists at opposing ends of their own tale. The acclaimed musical has been performed since 2001; it’s a heartbreaking tribute to the breakdown of a modern relationship, detailed through a unique reverse-narrative style. Though the […]
Bob. Middle-aged, trying-too-hard-to-make-a-good-impression Bob. He wanders through darkened corridors, his only company a flickering flashlight to guide the way and the fear of impending doom breathing down his neck. Joyce and Jim Hopper plead for him to be careful through his walkie-talkie, but he presses on. “Go,” he chants to himself, over and over. He turns […]
A woman screams in the blackness, what transpired hidden from sight, our imaginations taking over. The lights brighten. The chorus of black cats, reminiscent of Fosse dancers mixed with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats, slinks back to their chairs, their predatory instincts now sated. Angel, the titular Hell’s Kitty, cleans the red ribbon of blood from […]
