The Weight is an immersive narrative show taking place in 1986, the year that the federal blood ban on gay men was enacted. Its story follows grief-stricken Orlando, a gay man in Los Angeles, after his longtime boyfriend dies of kidney disease. Unable to donate his own blood to save his partner, Orlando enlists the help of those he meets in the hospital waiting room to perform a transformative ritual.

The BacheLARP is a one-day live game based on the hit reality television show, The Bachelor. Usually srrounding the celebrant of an event (the “BacheLARPer”), contestants vie for admiration through a series of challenges designed to test their knowledge of the celebrant’s life and tastes.

SurFifer is a live immersive game based on “Survivor” that is produced bi-annually for a public participants who fly in from across the country. This event has been running for 5 years, and I’ve worked on production coordination, challenge design, and marketing materials.
