The Horrors That Persist is a journey through the anxiety and hopeless vs. hopeful dichotomy that lives within all of us. As history repeats itself, we face the same mix of emotions that those who rallied before us did. This piece is partially tech horror and partially autobiographical. A guided meditation track takes us through a rather strange ritual that pushes the performer to confront the pit of despair inside. However the piece ends with a hopeful message through movement. The condition of the soul is a need for community.
The piece premiered in the 2025 Denver Fringe Festival! More info at https://denverfringe.org/

Nuptial Nightmares, which was co written with Keenan Gluck and Candy Dungan. "A quarreling wedding party travels to a rustic mountainside lodge to celebrate their friend's forthcoming marriage. Spooky shenanigans ensue as a lodge-dwelling ghost (Willoughby McCormick) takes our quirky characters on a journey of terrifying enlightenment in their desperate attempt to save the wedding. With a past in queer love, Willoughby’s post-life goal is to make sure any queer wedding in the lodge “goes-off-without-a-hitch.” Despite the extreme chaos of this unruly and antagonistic wedding party, Willoughby is determined to ensure that everyone, gets along. Using terrifying ghostly powers, our host attempts to bring the party together; but will they be able to overcome the rifts in the group? Or, will the wedding - and possibly the guest’s lives - fall apart?"
The Midnight Mart "A convenience store floats on the edge of space/time AND life/death. This is the Midnight Mart. As you approach it, you can hear Daybreak by Michael Haggins playing, which is stuck on an infinite loop. The parking lot drops off into a vast, dark void. This story begins with two players, SYD and JUNE. As the story unfolds our characters learn that this job isn’t exactly what they signed up for. Battling the undead, being sucked into an unstable trans-dimensional portal and dealing with a mysterious entity known only as “The Manager” was not in the job description. But the two learn that they can take on any anomaly as long as they work together. Mysteries of the universe be damned!"
