Start from any art installation or use this link to start at the James Armenta mural located just behind Moniker General (building 23).

GHOST LIGHT MASQUERADE

The Rosin Box Project is opening its 2021 Summer Season with Ghost Light Masquerade, an immersive promenade theater performance. Guests can enjoy live in-person shows on July 9-10 or virtual performances on July 23-30. Ghost Light Masquerade is an outdoor promenade performance that spans an hour and a half, with one intermission. Whether attending in-person, or watching from the comforts of a living room, audiences are encouraged to get lost among the eerie stages and dark corners as the dances of the damned are unearthed before them.

  • In-Person Masquerade:

In-person guests enter only by way of a secret password, and once inside, can follow the dancers through a series of vignettes inspired by the lore that give the stage its mystical quality. Doors open at 8PM and the promenade performance begins at 8:30PM along with a hosted bar from 8-11PM. Tickets can be purchased here.

  • Virtual Masquerade:

Those enjoying the virtual performances, can sit back and enjoy the ride as they are taken through a masked madhouse of ballet and superstitions without leaving the comforts of the living room! Just like real life, the virtual experience traverses through The Rosin Box Project’s new haunt at Liberty Station filmed using a 360-degree camera.

Guests move their own viewing device (recommended best for watching on a smartphone) in any direction to create a unique adventure, experiencing the scenery and dancing all around them. The performance is full of fun Easter eggs and mischievous details that the viewer can explore all on their own as they watch the show. Virtual attendees also have the option of adding a Ghost Light Gift Box to their order, including a VR headset, at-home cocktail kit, and more ghoulish goodies! Tickets can be purchased here.
