Immerse 2026

Created by Michelle Knight, Nic Kessler, Sage Starkey and Kierna Conner  

Laudanum and Ink is a critically acclaimed 90-minute looping experience that combines interactive performance, dance, and music to explore the life of Mary Shelley and her novel, Frankenstein. 

Just beyond the veil of time sits a strange tavern, filled with creatives searching for the muse to visit them.

 

Perhaps upon your visit, you witness a painter make sense of her massive canvas, an inventor wrestling with his latest invention, or a novelist putting words to page. Perhaps you contribute to their work, or create something entirely new yourself. 

The tavern is alive with apparitions and strange happenings, music and movement, and the only thing it waits for... is you.

Living at the intersection of immersive theater, an escape room and a social reality game (think “The Traitors” or “Million Dollar Secret”), The Good Neighbor Game is a 110 minute party game and story that premiered to sold-out shows. 

Well hey, there... You've been invited to play The Good Neighbor Game, a quirky party game led by an enigmatic Host. 

 

Players enjoy live music and cocktails while they compete with (and against) each other to sus out Intruders from their friendly Neighborhood. Players who are ‘exiled’ from the neighborhood continue to play, but their role in the game changes - and all the while, something unusual lurks behind the Game’s friendly facade.

If you like lying to your friends and befriending your enemies, this game is for you. Will you join the neighborhood?

Car music is a 25 minute narrative experience that uses puzzles, objects, and technology to tell a heartfelt story. Borrowing from the escape room format, the story unfolds with players rummaging through a car's interior to discover the mystery within.

You’re among the first invited to experience musician Damien's new album in a unique premiere set in his car, the album's inspiration. As you explore audio recordings, objects, and scattered secrets in the car, you piece together a personal story about Damien's mysterious disappearance and music.

A poignant, mysterious mini-tale about what we run from and what we carry with us.

  • "I wanted to say again - what a great event you created! We talked about it for two days. We felt connected to the group and it was a joyful night. I assume this is only the beginning! I look forward to much more."

    Michael

  • "What a truly awesome night. More fun than I’ve had in a long time."

    Breedlove 

  • "Thank you, Hawkmoon. We could live in the world you created forever."
