Campo Maldito

Angry ghosts are disrupting business at a tech startup in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. When the young CEO hires a Santeria priest to purify the office, he gets more than he bargained for.

​A darkly comic fable about the cost of gentrification and the price you pay when you piss off the dead.

This NYTimes acclaimed production returns to The Exit Theatre with the original cast. Campo Maldito performed to sold-out runs at the NY International Fringe Festival and the SF Fringe, and was a winner of the 2014 SF Fringe Best of Fringe Award.
"It’s hard to weave contemporary social issues into truly theatrical storytelling, but a company of graduate students from the University of California, San Diego, has done that beautifully with “Campo Maldito..."
— Laura Collins-Hughes, NYTimes

"If you’re looking to be entertained in the moment and haunted for days afterward, it’s a production well worth checking out." 
— Amy Lee Pearsall, NYTheater Now

Romulus Kilore's Mobile Happiness Bazaar​

Are you unhappy? Of course you are. Just look at yourself. But Romulus Kilgore has what you need to feel better, and he’s selling it at competitive prices. An interactive, snake-oil medicine show for the troubled soul, Romulus Kilgore’s Happiness Bazaar is an impishly comic exploration of how we buy peace of mind.
"...Fisher's magnetism was hard to resist. Director, Jesca Prudencio, turned Galbraith Lawn into a joyful environment, especially in her staging’s of musical sequences..."
— David Dixon, San Diego Story
