[INSERT PLOT TWIST HERE] 🕯️👹🕯️ Last weekend, Coin & Ghost was one of eight companies who participated in the Los Angeles Immersive Invitational. Within 48 hours, we received our randomized performance criteria, created an original 12-minute immersive experience, and performed it TWENTY-FOUR TIMES for audiences. 😮‍💨 — Obviously, Coin & Ghost used that time to create a pantsless murder mystery. The plot twist? Our project, “The Butler Did It,” was named RUNNER UP for the Invitational’s Grand Prize (as voted upon by a panel of immersive theatre and themed entertainment experts)! But as we like to say: we don’t do theatre for the awards — we do it exclusively for the money. — Absolute pleasure to spend the weekend surrounded by old friends and new, and a massive THANK YOU to @afterhourstheatreco and @immersiveexporg for putting together such a cool event (and inviting us to be a part of it)! — “THE BUTLER DID IT” Created and performed by @deandirects, @bukolaogunmola, @dumois, @eshiboski, @jobaciii, @queen.elisa.jasmine, and @reevecreates. — #Scoobididoo #ForGodsSake #JAccuse!

48 hours to conceive, rehearse, and perform a new immersive piece? Sounds completely unhinged, we’re in. - Public performance(s) April 21st at the Nocturne Theatre. Link in bio for tickets.

MERCH MADNESS 🔥 New items just hit the C&G store — plus some fan favorites and the return of our most-requested merch ever (hint: it’s the pants). Link in bio to upgrade your wardrobe! 🔥 #DripDrop

Might fuck around and dismantle the patriarchy… ✨ NEXT MONTH, we’re cooking up something extraordinary with @rogerq.mason and @thespomancer — a devised LYSISTRATA adaptation that centers TGNC sex workers and their clients.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, UNCLE KENDALL (A.K.A. DAVE THA MAGE). 🔥🔥🔥 He just keeps getting more handsome/talented/kind over time, it’s infuriating (but also, really nice). Couldn’t imagine any of this without ya. Swipe to the end for his villain origin story.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our BRILLIANT Managing Director, @dangerfrench! ❤️❤️❤️ (…just to be clear, this is a photo of them in “acting” mode, not in “managing director” mode) - Drop a comment with your favorite Marguerite memory! . . . (📸 by @meredithadelaide)

Aaaaand that’s a wrap on the 2023 World Tour! Spoiler alert: y’all ain’t ready for what C&G’s 2024 is gonna look like 👻

“Sometimes we need repetition, of some sound that is, of course, still ringing from before. To double it.” - It never really feels like “goodbye” with this show. But that doesn’t make it any easier to walk away. Six years of development, three productions (two and a half, but who’s counting), 21 actors across eight roles, the best damn design & production team in the business, and way, way, WAY too much theatrical haze. We navigated the apocalypse, heartbreak, and equity contracts to bring this thing to life. And it was fucking perfect every time. - Love you, MAMA. Thank you. ❤️ - (Production stills by @meredithadelaide, plus a bunch of iPhone miscellanea from Zach) - #coinandghost

“Maybe it never ends. Maybe time is a suspension, and the more we think about anything, the more we realize that the sound Lance made when he died was the same sound the bomb made when it detonated, and that sounds, once they are made, can’t ever be unmade or even stop.” . Happy closing, Mama. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. . 📸: @meredithadelaide
