WOW. A high school performed a show we created. What a wild and unexpected and truly beautiful experience.

We wrote ‘In Another Room’ way back in 2017 - it was our first ever foray into the world of immersive theatre, and what felt like a last ditch effort to overcome an all-consuming creative slump. We weren’t sure what to expect, but it worked, we were hooked, and my life and artistry was forever changed.

It’s been through several iterations since then: we mounted a second season with all new ghost stories the following year, then adapted it into a podcast in 2020, and have taken several stand-alone scenes to the Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans over the years. But never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that a high school production would be added to the list. And DAMN. It was so good!

It was incredible to see new life breathed into these old ghosts by such an insanely talented, committed, and inspiring group of young actors and theatre kids. What a surreal experience to see scenes I know so well performed in this specific setting and with such care and creativity and heart. I am so moved and so inspired.

To the cast and crew at @ndhstheatreknights - congratulations on the beautifully haunting show, y’all are amazing. And thank you to @wollman.chris for asking us to be a part of this wild ride, and for being brave (crazy?) enough to take on this unique challenge for a group of high school students.

Truly a peak life experience, and a ghost story I will never forget.
