FREE & DISCOUNTED TIX ❤️ Hey friends. It’s been rough out here. And we know that for many of you, coming to see a show this weekend is not the right move — but we also know that for some folks, the idea of taking a night to surround yourself with joy, love, creativity, and community might sound real effin’ nice right now. If that’s you, we’d love for you to be able to come see THE INDEX OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS, no strings attached. So we’ve partnered with our friends at @lalgbtcenter to make all Community Access Tickets 100% free with the code TOGETHER. Oh — and we also made all premium seats 30% off with the code FRIENDS30. - Hope you’re safe. Sending love. And if you want a big ol’ hug Saturday night, you know where to find us ❤️ Link in bio for tix. - Pictured: @jcfinch as MONEYBAGS, from the 2023 “Index” (photo by Richard Dean)

Don’t ask us why, but January 6th felt like a great day to rehearse our anti-authoritarian solo festival 😈 . THE INDEX OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS is only 11 days away (1.18.25). Do you have your tickets yet?

Holy hell. 😈 Meet the creators behind THE INDEX OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS, our Jan 18 solo performance festival! 😍😍😍 Link in bio (or visit coinandghost.org/index25) for tickets!

HAPPY FRIGGIN BIRTHDAY to our intrepid, brilliant, and ever-talented Managing Director, @dangerfrench! ❤️ I heard them say the other day — and this really stuck with me — “diamonds come and go and trips to Italy are temporary; the true best gift that someone could give me is coming to see THE INDEX OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS on Jan 18.” I believe they also said something about “link in bio or at coinandghost.org/index25,” though I may be paraphrasing there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROCKSTAR!

Oh hey — I think you left a present under the tree. Could you do me a favor and unwrap that real quick? It’s COIN & GHOST’S 2025 SEASON! – 💀 THE INDEX OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS Directed by @celiamandela Co-Presented with @lalgbtcenter Named after the Vatican’s original banned book list, “The Index” is Coin & Ghost’s multidisciplinary solo performance festival designed to explore the off-limits. — 🕳️ THE AARON PLAY (Workshop) Written by @art_on_my_sleeve Directed by @thespomancer Co-Presented with @indyshakes “The Aaron Play” picks up right where Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus” left off: with its self-proclaimed villain buried up to his chest, watched by Roman guards, and visited by ghosts from his past, as he tries to talk his way out of a death sentence and reunite with his infant son. — 🪽 ROOM BY THE SEA (World Premiere) Written by @juanmigueljuanson Directed by @hashmotogram Co-Produced with @afterhourstheatreco A boy dreams of flight and his father dreams of safety – but a royal secret threatens to trap them both in a labyrinth they will never escape. “RBTS” is a story you know. It’s a story of families, class, and survival. But it is also the story of something else…something monstrous. — 🏀 THE HERITAGE (Workshop) Written by @thekjohnson A new play about the crossroads of athletics and activism – of politics, patriotism, and the cost of Black superstardom. — ✨ UNTITLED LYSISTRATA PROJECT (Workshop) Written by @rogerq.mason Directed by @thespomancer Witness the revolution through “Untitled Lysistrata Project,” a modern, feminist adaptation that centers Trans and Gender Non-Conforming sex workers and their clients. — 🎁 THE NAUGHTY LIST Directed by @queen.elisa.jasmine Mark your (advent) calendars for the return of C&G’s infamous holiday burlesque spectacular, a sexy fan-favorite that will have you begging for myrrh. — Link in bio to learn more about (and support) this season’s projects!
