Unearth the Darkness

“The Initiation” dares the bold and the brave to step into the enigmatic world of “Insight,” a spiritual cult that promises enlightenment while plunging you into a labyrinth of fear. This immersive experience promises to blend reality with nightmares, as you attend a recruitment seminar that descends into a harrowing journey through the unknown. Guided by the cult’s eerie leaders, you must navigate through the chilling maze while confronting the darkness that hides deep within your own psyche. But beware—few emerge unscathed from this sinister rite of passage.

According to Joshua Grannell, known as Peaches Christ, “The Initiation” draws inspiration from San Francisco’s macabre history of cults, including the Manson Family and Jim Jones. It weaves a tapestry of horror that invites guests to become part of the play, experiencing the initiation process firsthand and surviving the malevolent leadership that drives the cult’s sinister agenda.

“The Initiation” will cater to groups of up to 10 participants per session, ensuring an intimate yet intensely terrifying experience. Time slots will be available every 15 minutes, accommodating different schedules and preferences. Tickets for “The Initiation” are now on sale, ranging in price from $55 to $85, depending on the selected performance day and time.
