The Mysteries of Persephone

Role: Creator, Director, Co-writer, Game Host

Performed at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Fest, The Mysteries of Persephone was an immersive theatrical re-enactment of the Eleusinian Mysteries. A critically acclaimed fan favorite, the show performed to packed sold out audiences in it’s final weekend. Temple visitors time travel to Ancient Greece to journey to the underworld to rescue the young goddess from Hades in an experience that melds immersive theater and ritual re-enactment with community restorative justice and nonviolent communication exercises, using the power of play to explore navigating interpersonal conflict.

Lupercalien

Role: Creator, Host

I re-enacted the ancient Roman holiday of Lupercalia with a modern twist, adding in the impending arrival of benevolent canine aliens. Pulling from Discordian and Merry Prankster traditions, this event let participants play at getting swept up in a UFO cult and a risqué pagan ritual, learning a little bit about history, without having to leave behind their rational mind. The project was created as part of The BEAM Collective’s programming.
