Bravery is a muscle. Imagination is a muscle. Collaboration is a muscle. #ExerciseRegularly

Congratulations to our superfly Admin Team, who were all nominated for Stage Raw Awards last week for their work on Not Man Apart-Physical Theatre Ensemble’s “Paradise Lost: Reclaiming Destiny!”
Elisa was nominated for Original Music, Niki for Production Design, and the whole gang for Best Ensemble. All-in-all, the production garnered NINE nominations. Very proud of all our friends at Not Man Apart, and honored to be making intimate theatre in Los Angeles.

In October 2017, Coin & Ghost hit the stage with our inaugural production, the World Premiere of Cecilia Fairchild‘s "Fortunate Son: A Faust Myth."
The project, directed by C&G Artistic Director Zach Davidson, was a whiskey-soaked exploration of God, loss, and longing.
Today, we offer you a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ to help you get through these quiet summer months: a "Fortunate Son" trailer — just a taste of what we built last Fall.
Enjoy, friends!

Ooooooooo… “The function of art is to awaken what is asleep.” — Victor Schlovsky
“You turn older and have this need to go back to war again. Your lifetime has doubled over since the the days you decided it was wrong, it was a waste. You need to go back, for almost the same reasons you set off on this path as a boy at seventeen. Only this time the reason is the pursuit of meaning. This time the stakes are lower. This time no one dies. The old dog walks itself into the woods to brave death on its own…I don’t know, maybe the stakes are the same after all. Maybe we all die.” — @stoshactual
