Allow me to introduce my co- producer, @spamuelchan ! A talented performer with a wonderful voice, Sam and I have worked together for the greater part of a decade now on various projects, including co-directing the Richmond Fringe Festival together. When I was asked to produce this show he was my first choice for a partner, and I am so glad he said yes. Sam will be bringing his charming character Titch Willow to both the main show and the pre-show. https://events.humanitix.com/dungeons-and-darlings by @devl.ish

We are ten days away from Dungeons and Darlings! I am producing this show with my lovely @richmond_fringe_fest co-director @spamuelchan and my dear @dirty_moon.child Show will be at 8pm, featuring flow arts, magic, singing , burlesque and drag. We have a VIP preshow game that starts at 7:15 with multiple character performers for you to play and interact with, along with preferred seating and a swag bag. One of my big goals as a show producer is to bring a variety of types of performers together. I truly believe that art benefits from art. At @black.iris.social.club we will be surrounded by art from some of the most talented illustrators in #rva while entertainers from multiple performance backgrounds will be on stage and off. I hope we can delight you, engage you, and immerse you in an evening of fun and fantasy. by @devl.ish

It’s not easy being green, but these TWO sets of nails from @catleesis_creations will certainly help. They have bugs on them and I love them. Thanks @afterdarkrva for letting me take this monster on a test run this weekend. Congratulations on the sold out! If you got tickets to the fairy ball, someone Very Close to me will see you there. If not…. You can always make a pilgrimage to @ixartpark for their Fae Festival on June 20-21. by @devl.ish

THE TORCH IS PASSED! Pleased as punch to say the blood sacrifice and the ceremonial dance has concluded in the anointing of our NEW DIRECTORS @spamuelchan and @devl.ish from founder @carmel_clavin !.Carmel is staying on as the Global Arts Exchange Manager and programmer with the festival.

Let us simply say that April has been a hell of a ride.I co-directed a #fringefestival , started a #magician war over playing cards, WON a fricking Andruzzi Award at Poe’s Magic Conference, helped with a dragon, cried over David Bowie, and saw many wonderful sights with wonderful people. My heart is very full this month and I am grateful.Charming photo of me in the moon by the ever talented @isaacedwinh by @devl.ish

Busy elsewhere promoting the #fringefestival at large. I need to remember to promo my own stuff as well. This year I am teaching a class about two of my favorite subjects, and how they intertwine. The haunt and horror industry and the realm of magic and magicians have been borrowing things from each other since the beginning. That overlap has been driven by wonderful creative and scientific innovations. My class is also being offered at a discounted rate when purchased in tandem with the How To Build A World class taught by @carmel_clavin . We will also be serving tea because that is just who we are. Won’t you join us? #richmondfringe2026 #immersiveart #hauntactor #magician by @devl.ish
