Well I don't know WHY Bluesky isn't scraping the pictures from that post, so here's a gallery of pretty pictures from Limos' creative team.

An altar of sorts with a tarot guidebook, a candle, and several other offerings.

A fortune teller with long hair wearing a laurel wreath looks towards someone near the camera, we can only see that person's shoulder. The scene is lit by candlelight.

Three tarot cards on a table. We see the fortune teller is placing the third. The hands of the person getting the reading are just in frame.

The fortune teller, wearing the laurel wreath, lit by red light, leans over the shoulder of a person who looks at them. Another person, with a mustache, watches the scene.

In LA? Love to see theatre in abandoned nightclubs? Like your Shakespeare unconventional? Just Romeo & Juliet from director Josh Randall is a sharp, swift, 40 min, two man version of the play that scratches the site-specific theatre itch for real. Limited run, starts this week.

An actor (Mason Conrad, left) in motion on top of a bar as the narrator (Josh Randall, center) begins the tale. The room is bathed in red light and faux lanterns and candles. Very gothic.
