Thank You Note
I just wanted to write a thank you note to the performers. To put it briefly, you’ve given me a taste of an feeling that I now crave so horribly and continuously that the only way I can think of getting more is to create it. I don’t ever remember feeling this way before. It’s […]

The Matron
I race through the maze bathed in blue light, exhilarated at the isolation of the near-empty room, then I stumbled upon a few people, standing utterly still, facing the corner. I turn and see the hut. A white mask turns and I hear a whispered, “can you see?” as a hand beckons me closer. I […]

I Left My Heart at The McKittrick
There’s only one thing about my Sleep No More experience that I wish I could change: I wish I’d heard about it sooner. It’s a dark world, but live performance and art help remind me of the collective good in us, and theater is typically my go-to form of storytelling when I want to forget […]

A Favourite Haunting
Last night I found myself in the dim lights of Gallow’s Green without a soul in sight. For a magical moment I felt terribly, wonderfully alone. I was truly unseen, a wandering ghost roaming a hollow town after/before the residents and visitors dis/appeared. As I drifted I spyed the tailor through his shop window. I […]

Purely Magical
My Dearest McKittrick, I’ve never met a temptress quite as alluring as you. Every time I visit, I discover something new and exciting: sometimes it’s a scene I’d never come across before; or it might be watching a familiar interaction from an unfamiliar angle; or perhaps it’s a small detail in the set that I’d […]

on facing my fears
I was a scared kid. Even as a teenager, I worried about the dark, fires, murderers…the list goes on. When my parents first visited the McKittrick, they told me all about it – the mystery, the stories, the drama. They knew it was something I would love. “But you’d be too scared,” they added. That […]

I Hope This Place Changes You
I first found the McKittrick Hotel in December 2023. What I thought would be a single visit turned into a whirlwind I never anticipated, and I have returned again and again. Every time I step inside the hotel, it surprises me with a new gift: bits and pieces of endlessly entangled stories that I get […]

My Dearest McKittrick Hotel
My Dearest McKittrick Hotel, I have never experienced anything quite as wondrous as the moment I stepped into the lobby of the McKittrick Hotel. I knew I was in for an extraordinary experience as soon as I was immersed into the depths of Sleep No More. The darkness, the shadows, the scenes from Macbeth left […]

Where Do You Find Art?
On one of my last visits to the McKittrick, I was in conversation with one of my favorite residents, the lovely Evelyn in the bar, and she asked me “where do you find art not on stage?” She followed by saying she finds art in pansies, her favorite flower, and I responded that I find […]

I can’t express
If I could, I would tirelessly write a damn novel about what the McKittrick means to me. But all I have to say is this. Thank you for the tears, the laughter, the dark halls, the flashing strobe lights, the dust up on my forearm and between my fingers, the dances with a witch, the […]
