So the PLAN this week was NO NEWSLETTER as today is my birthday – actual actual – and I like to take it off BUUUUUUT, I saw a fun show last night that is only open for one more night (it had a two night run) and we had a HUGE week on the site, including a Rundown, a big Thursday, and our first full Pod since last month.
So this is my birthday present to YOU: a recommendation, our latest articles, and three listings, two of which are for next weekend only in L.A. and one is the Seattle edition of a Southland fave.
One Night Left In Santa Monica: Ghosts of the Miles
Some of the Ghosts of the Miles.
I didn't know what exactly Ghosts of the Miles would be, but I knew that I was curious as to what actor Katie Rediger had crafted in her immersive directing debut. Turns out it's a spooky and sweet ode to theatre at a historic community performance space in Santa Monica that features a killer six person cast that includes former DIAVOLO co-choreographer Majella Bess and... well there's another that's a spoiler and even saying that may be too much.
You've got just TONIGHT to go catch the show, but tickets are only $17! There are three tracks and it lasts about 30-40 minutes. Enough to catch two tracks if you want. (I only caught one, as I took the late show.)

We're on Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and Facebook. Come say hi and let's take this parasocial relationship to the next level: pen pals.
GET LISTED!!!
Kathryn and the team set up the EI listings that show producers don't submit themselves, so that there is a newsletter to make. But what we love to see is event producers doing it for themselves.
So if you want a shot at seeing your work listed here or in our social feeds submit a listing at Everything Immersive for the opportunity. Help us help you.
Just, please: make sure your listing explains how your event is immersive. It's incredible how many people don't really do that.

ON THE SITE & PODCAST
THE PODCAST
This week on the podcast two of the brightest stars in the Spooky Season Sky here in Los Angeles – actors Daniel Montgomery and Misha Reeves – are here to talk with us all about ACTING! in immersive with a horror twist!
The pair have been friends since high school and, amongst many other accomplishments, are part of the core company of JFI Productions staring in multiple editions of Creep LA and The Willows, of which Daniel is the writer.
THE SITE
- The Immersive Review Rundown offers up all scary stuff: death, madness, and most horrid of all: POLITICS. We dive into the mind of a dead man in L.A., have high tea in Denver in a world imagined by Shirley Jackson, and be a fly on the wall at a forgotten turning point in American history. Three Reviews,
- Kevin took a job on the Night Watch in L.A. and lived to tell the tale!
- After Hours Theatre Company's Dark Library: The Time Machine returns to North Hollywood and gets a Now Playing featurette.
- Nothing says real life horror like the American healthcare system, which is how we wind up with American Healthcare: The Haunted House coming to L.A., turning one comedian's real-life nightmare into the most terrifying haunt of all. Read more in our Coming Soon featurette.
- In Minneapolis, Strange Loop Productions leans on their artistic director Zhauna Franks' time with Sleep No More and Then She Fell to craft the cabaret infused Bazaar Bizarre. Our Now Playing has the details.

LOS ANGELES
American Healthcare: The Haunted House🎃
Comedian Kylie Vincent's 9-month, sold-out run of her live stand-up comedy hour, Lesion Lady (which is currently being made into a documentary comedy special), chronicles her journey from being hospitalized with no insurance after her entire left side went numb, leading to a shocking MS (Mega Slut) disease diagnosis. Immediately after discharge, Kylie Vincent took to the stage with her cane and new jokes written in her hospital bed about her brain lesion (lesiondary) and navigating the broken American Healthcare System. Kylie went on to perform stand up nearly every night, crafting her new comedy hour within weeks of her unexpected and life-altering days as the “youngest and tightest” patient in the neurology unit.
Kylie Vincent, Jordan Thewlis and a team of creative collaborators, along with DSP and The Elysian are coming together on Halloween weekend to invite the LA community into a fully immersive haunted house experience that will bring participants face-to-face with the horrors of the healthcare system. American Healthcare: The Haunted House will take place at DSP Studios Oct 29th - Oct 31st. Kylie will also headline a Lesion Lady standup marathon at the Elysian Theater on Oct 30th. Proceeds will go toward offsetting Kylie’s ghastly medical costs.
comedy, horror; all ages, $25, Oct. 29-31
