“the skill of the spectator determines the machine’s ability to reach a climax.”
alejandro Jodorowsky
On a legendary production poised on the brink of glory, a film crew’s patience wears dangerously thin. Presiding over them is the Alchemist, a poetic wonderworker and disaster provocateur whose delusions of grandeur have brought production to a standstill.
As the Alchemist draws the set deeper into a world of magic and madness, guests find themselves entangled in increasingly intricate quests to get the production back on track. Their goal: to guide the nine lost souls of the cast & crew towards a personal miracle...
Psychomagic 9 is an Equity approved Showcase.

We would prefer that you come into the event intending to stay for the whole time. However, the door is always open. You’re free to leave if you decide halfway through that it’s not your thing. We just ask that you don’t come into it already knowing you’ll need to leave early.
In other words, please treat our show like any other theater performance! (At least in this regard.)
