People are tired of traditional media experiences.

Most interactive events miss the mark by watering down their content for mass consumption. Afraid of taking risks, they leave people feeling annoyed, bored, and a little more alienated than before.

But humans crave fresh, exciting encounters that resonate with meaning. They naturally seek out peak experiences, delicious surprises, and ways to bridge the gap between their hearts and others’.

Why not give them that?

We work tirelessly, with reckless ambition, to create custom productions that speak directly to your audience and build community. Our events have been called “life-changing” and “better than Sleep No More.”

We’re based in New York City, but for the right project, we’ll travel anywhere in the U.S.

Just reach out to classicsdept@proton.me, and let’s talk.

What we can do for you

  • Company Parties

    If you're a small startup with a quirky sense of humor, we can throw you a party your employees will never forget.

  • Special Events

    For life's landmark events — be it a wedding, birthday, or a retreat with your best friends — we'll get to know you and make sure you're surprised and celebrated in exactly the ways you want.

  • Promotion

    Promote your brand or launch a product with an activation that speaks directly to your audience's hearts and minds: a roleplaying game set in your product's universe, or a viral publicity stunt for your new book.

  • Virtual Experiences

    Launching an app or a film and want to generate buzz? We'll build you a custom ARG with narrative, puzzles, and video content.

  • Live Shows

    Whether it's a variety show or a musical, an avant-garde stunt or a narrative drama, if you want to commission a live performance to connect with your audience, we'll write and produce it for you.

  • Private Rituals

    Looking to commemorate a sacred moment, connect deeply with a small group of friends, or invite a particular quality of energy into your life? We'll draw on our wealth of esoteric knowledge to craft a custom ritual just for you.

Don’t see what you want?

We still want to hear your idea! Adventuring into new territory is our raison d’être.

Personally, we’d love to:

  • Throw Bryan Johnson’s 150th birthday party

  • Take a cutting-edge research institute on a Southern Gothic cruise up the Mississippi in search of the fountain of youth

  • Design a 3-day insomnia-fueled LARP to promote Jane Schoenbrun’s latest horror film

  • Writing & Conception

    We work closely with you to understand your goals, then write a script or an outline to get your vision on paper. For narrative productions, we're interested in larger-than-life characters, daring storylines that speak to contemporary issues, and worlds layered with mystery, absurdism, and heart.

  • Artistic Design

    We collaborate with you to develop a distinctive aesthetic to guide all artistic aspects of production, including sound design, lighting, music composition, costume creation, and room decoration — whether that's on a stage or on location. We love transforming ordinary spaces into magical environments.

  • Production

    We orchestrate all the behind-the-scenes details of a production: finding a venue, hiring collaborators, sourcing equipment, and coordinating the various logistics it takes to bring your dream to life.

  • Performance

    Theater, performance art, ritual, music! We have experience with a wide range of performances, and we leverage an extensive network of talented collaborators, from songwriters and musicians to skilled actors, for each new piece.

  • Filmmaking

    If you want to add cinematic flair to live shows, expand fictional worlds into multi-media universes, or simply generate some marketing content, we can produce short films and short-form video content on a scrappy budget.

  • Game Design

    Gamification is a surefire way to kick your event into overdrive! We design alternative reality games, live-action roleplaying games, murder mysteries, and authentic relating events.

“MORG AND ALICE ARE AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH! I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE WORLD WITH THE CREATIVE VISION, CULTURAL CONTEXT, AND PROFESSIONALISM TO PRODUCE SOMETHING AS ENGAGING AND PROVOCATIVE AS BET ON LOVE (MANIFOLD'S SURREAL PREDICTION MARKET DATING SHOW MUSICAL). NOT ONLY THAT, IT WAS ALL DONE WITHIN BUDGET AND ON AN INCREDIBLY QUICK TIMEFRAME. FROM BOTH AN AESTHETIC AND BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE, YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER OPTION.”

Brooke Bowman, CEO of Vibecamp

“THE CLASSICS DEPARTMENT PULLED OFF SOMETHING WE NEVER EXPECTED. THEY PUT ON THE DATING SHOW TO SAVE THE WORLD AT THE SECOND VIBECAMP AND IT ENGAGED, ENRAGED. IT SPARKED DISCOURSE AND SPINOFFS AND CHANGED THE LIVES OF BOTH PARTICIPANTS AND AUDIENCE. THEY'RE INCREDIBLE ARTISTS.”
