Professor von Awesome's Proof that Ghosts Exist!


In order to prove that the Parkside Lounge (NY) and Fergie's Pub (Philly) are truly among the most haunted places on Earth we photographed our ghostly specimens (Celeste Larbolustier and Percival von Awesome) in action with real live humans! 
Take that skeptics!

Another Rave Review for Professor von Awesome's Ghost Hunting Safari!


Read our latest review from thehesoproject.com here!

Or enjoy this exerpt...


"...As soon as Professor Von Awesome, played by Mike Drummey, graces the stage you know you’re in for a fun, campy night. Mike is over the top hilarious and holds the show well as he explains how he stole the book of the dead, and how he will use it to bring back his beloved.

The only thing that overshadowed the humor was the raw talent. The team of writers (Lizz Leiser, Becca Worthington, Ricardo Delgado, Mike Drummey, Ari Kessler, Nick Masercola, and Jacob Callie Moore) understand humor and plot construction, and put together a tight production. I was blown away by Norman and Ursula Stuby’s creative props, especially the Indonesian puppet show and the ghost x-ray machine. Sam Durant, who plays Renaldo, can make the audience laugh with just a lift of his eyebrow. Annalisa Derr gives a sensual and hilarious strip tease as a burlesque dancer possessed by an old prude. This is a wonderful theater collective and I suggest you check them out now while tickets are just $15.

This show is like Monty Python and Young Frankenstein meets Halloween. If you like camp, music, and all things gholish, you’ll love it...."

STC Field Trip: Coney Island Sand Sculpture Contest 2013


Building the von Awesome family plot. 
Out of sand. 
Our mausoleum was glorious for one moment, then disappeared into nothing, never to be re-created in the same way ever again, nothing to hold onto for all of our hours and hours of  grueling work, save pictures, memories, and deeply aching muscles. It is a metaphor for making theater. Also life.
