Immersive storytelling experiences that turn strangers into a community — one true story at a time.
The Story Portal Stage arrives at your event as a fully immersive art installation — brass instruments, glowing dials, typewriter keys clicking. Then the wheel spins. It lands on a prompt. A stranger steps into the spotlight and tells a true story from their life.
Something shifts in the room. Listeners lean in. Strangers cry together. A community forms in real time — not through icebreakers or forced activities, but through the simple, ancient act of one person telling the truth.
"It brought tears to my eyes, love to my heart, and joy to those who shared their stories."— Barrie Hartman, event attendee
Custom prompts generated for your event — from "first time you felt brave" to "a mistake that changed everything."
Pyrotechnics, professional DMX lighting, sound effects, fog. The stage comes alive when the wheel spins.
A visual anchor that transforms any venue. Setup in 4-5 hours with 4 crew. Teardown in 3 hours.
Custom prompt panels for corporate events, weddings, anniversaries. Each event gets its own story DNA.
Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn — we have optimized ourselves into a performance. Perfect angles, curated stories, the highlight reel. Meanwhile, the actual experience of being human — the messy, the painful, the contradictory — goes untold.
The Story Portal is an intervention. A 24-foot steampunk machine that exists solely to give strangers permission to be real.
"The whole immersive theater storyline tied every single detail in the story portal together. From the former director of immersive theater at Meow Wolf Santa Fe — fantastic job!"— Ariana Throne, Former Director of Immersive Theater, Meow Wolf
"The Story Portal is my favorite thing I've experienced at any festival. It was truly impressive in the depth of art and storytelling."— Seth Herd, Festival Attendee
"It brought tears to my eyes, love to my heart, and joy to those who shared their stories. A beautiful piece all around!"— Barrie Hartman, Event Attendee
Each storyworld we create is a fully realized narrative universe — characters with histories, journals, letters, inventions. Dr. Ezra Marcel's steampunk realm is just the beginning.
A collection of journals, photographs, and typewriter-correspondence with the dead. Visitors piece together the story of a scientist who built a time machine to conjure his lost memories.
The workshop where Dr. Marcel experimented with animals, built robots, and spiraled into psychedelic madness trying to recreate the fairy who saved his life. Creatures, inventions, and the smell of alchemy.
The Story Portal is available for festivals, conferences, weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings. We bring the stage, the production, and the craft. You bring the people.
The next great story hasn't been told yet.
It's waiting on a wheel.
