EDNA: Immersed!

Hi friends and fans! I've been so swamped, I have not had a solid moment to make a blogpost so I've kept y'all out of the loop.

However, with the amount of events in my life that could easily mean a week or a few months!

This > is a photo of me after a gig last night for an apocalyptic themed, immersive party by Andrew Ward, where I played the Earth dying. (This is the outfit I partied in afterwards.)

Last I told you, I was directing Jamie Coventry's "Clown Down!" which was a fantastic feat. In April, I also co-directed a show called "Cavalcade of Clowns" with the legendary Jeff Raz at Club Fugazi - also an amazing feat full of professional clowns, 16 of them to be exact! Super proud of all this directing work lately; my teenage dream has come to life in such an unexpected way. :)

But I'm back on the stage this coming weekend for an immersive show called "Don't Follow the Lights" by Shelli Frew at Masonic Lodge at 169 Bartlett Street in SF. It's this Saturday, May 9th only at two times, 2:30 PM and 7:00 PM. If you're one of the lucky three per show, you'll be summoned into my area and catch my scene!

We're part of the SF International Arts Festival, which runs April 29th through May 10th. Catch any of the other shows too; schedule here: https://www.sfiaf.org/calendar_2026

I'm FULLY IMMERSED in a bunch of private, immersive events with Scott Levkoff of Mystic Midway this summer; very exciting things in the works. I love coproducing and casting big events because we get the artist community paid! :)

I've started a second writing group for my Betty Boop / Helen Kane play. Hopefully I'll finsh this year.

What else, what else? Oh, I tied in a Selena lookalike contest recently at Dr. Teeth's bar on Mission street; it was for an event called Puti bar that drag queen, Grace Towers, throws. I won makeup; yay!

I'm still figure modeling.

And I've been production managing lately too and doing a little marketing on the side for a super cool program in Oakland called Prescott Circus that provides free circus training to many Oakland schoolchildren; most of them are ethnic kids so that's good news - the future of clowning is more diverse. Check them out; they frequently have showcases!

In March I performed in two shows with my drag troupe, Palace of Trash. The first was for the Bioneers conference, a science gathering that happens yearly in Berkeley. We wrote our first script for it and pre-recorded songs to lipsync; we're bringing a revamped version to The Stud on June 13th!

I also co-directed "Beyond the Garbage Pail" with Jourdan Sales, aka Stinky Pinky. We honored the dead and people added to our altar. I played Charlie Kirk, sucking Satan's cock in hell. It was a lovely evening. Some evidence below.

Oh yeah, and my landlord's place is going into foreclosure so I may be losing my housing this year. Wish me luck!
