One Night Changed My Life
In 2019 I was preparing to graduate high school. A year or so prior I had shown my dad the Hadestown soundtrack after seeing it in my city pre-Broadway. He fell in love with it and secretly planned a trip to NYC in 2019 so our family could see it together. I had never been to […]

The comfort of your darkest fantasies.
I’ve always been the logical one that roots oneself in reality. I can suspend my disbelief when I attend most theatrical performances. I didn’t need to do that here at the McKittrick Hotel. The immersion, the feeling of being lost, the haunting atmosphere, they are all real to me. I’ve visited the McKittrick Hotel over […]

Mind blown in 2019
My husband and I visited New York in October 2019 for a friends wedding. We were encouraged to book a session and to be honest I was dubious… On the night we enjoyed socializing at the bar beforehand, at this point I thought how bad could it be… We were allocated our cards and I […]

Still Not Sure
I still don’t know how I got home after Halloween in 2012. The pair of glasses I lost must have been a sacrifice to Hecate. But I know the hotel did help me find correspondence with Sondheim. And assist me in meeting, falling in love with, and proposing to my wife. So feel free to […]

To A Place That Felt Like Home
I will never forget the feeling of stepping into the McKittrick Hotel for the first time. I always say I wish I could bottle up that feeling and keep it with me forever. Though I found this show fairly recently, it has come to mean so much to me. I have never felt any piece […]

Sonnet
Last night I dreamed of Manderley again The music led me deep into the maze I traced my hand along the walls and then The bar appeared, alive with lights ablaze I found myself within the dark hotel A twisting knot of threads around my heart A pulsing beat, the clanging of a bell A […]

Boy Witch
Thank you to Boy Witch for shaping my identity and helping me overcome dysphoria and feel confident in wearing eyeliner. What an utterly beautiful character. It’s been a pleasure to experience his story.

Thank You
The first time I checked into the McKittrick Hotel I was in a profound stage of disconnection in my life. As I’ve found myself returning, I have been pulled warmly into a world and a community that values connection above all else. Connection to one’s body and how that can be used to communicate with […]

When I first visited, I didn’t know what to expect.
Dearest McKittrick residents, staff, and fellow guests, When I first visited, I didn’t know what to expect. I wandered, sometimes aimlessly… sometimes with purpose. I was scared. Bewildered. Amused. Intrigued. Walking into a universe separate from your own is a rare experience… and one that drew me back again… and again. Over time, that world […]
