ESCAPE FROM GODOT | 2018, 2024
CO-CREATOR/ DIRECTOR
You are invited to a play. But it’s THAT play. You know, the one they call “important,” “the quintessence of existentialism,” and “a meaningless trudge between the cradle and the grave.” You promised your friend you’d be there. Enter the theater and find your seat. You have 60 minutes to escape.
The show is the game and the game is the show. Escape room antics meet iconic existentialism in this interactive, theatrical performance puzzle.










BUREAU OF NOOKS AND CRANNIES | 2024
CREATOR-IN-RESIDENCE
The Library, in partnership with the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, has established a residency program, Los Angeles Public Library Creators in Residence, designed to engage creative Angelenos from a multitude of disciplines.
Creator Andy Crocker has created six experience kits and two audio pieces inspired by the Los Angeles Public Library’s 72 branches and infinite stories.
She may have also created the Bureau of Nooks and Crannies.










APPLE AVENUE DETECTIVE AGENCY | 2024
CO-CREATOR / DIRECTOR
Inspired by real childhood events, this adventure inducts audiences into a pint-sized investigator club to uncover local mysteries and find closure for a good friend in very real trouble.
Mischievous and deeply personal, this playable coming-of-age tale takes audiences from a backyard clubhouse through the nooks and crannies of the neighborhood, all the way to the treacherous border of growing up. When you’re a kid, the world is full of mysteries, and no one solves them alone.

40 WATTS FROM NOWHERE | 2023
CO-CREATOR / DIRECTOR
The kickass true story of Sue Carpenter, a restless magazine editor turned radio pirate. In 1995, Sue poured every penny she had into creating an illegal radio station, KBLT, in her closet, which transformed her apartment into the secret heartbeat of the Silver Lake music scene.
Part memoir and part playable theatre, this experiential live documentary puts you into Sue's DJ booth as you run the station, play music, share you voice, and attempt to avoid legal and financial ruin at the hands of the FCC.
