Knott's Scary Farm
Le Magnifique Carnaval du Grotesque
Writer / Director, Calico Mine Stage · Knott's Scary Farm · 2023–2025.

The show begins before it begins: in 2023, Cuchillo the clown worked the crowd in the preshow; 2024 and 2025 brought Oopsy Daisy, greeting guests with the kind of warmth you don't quite trust. By the time the curtain rose, the audience was already part of it.
