"What was brilliant about this show - and it's happening more and more these days - was the opportunity to come in on something right from the very start, before there was a design or anything. That was a massive draw."
"We quickly got this great rapport of just bouncing (ideas) off each other. There was just a click - that we could create something really exciting."
"I sort of picked on three to five things and said, 'Right, let's workshop it,' Fisher says. 'Before we'd even designed the set, we just went into this big warehouse and I got a whole lot of stuff made."
Chris Fisher is a U.K.-based master of illusion responsible for effects on Back to the Future and Harry Potter & The Cursed Child and for Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which won a 2025 Special Tony Award. Fisher is bringing Paranormal Activity to the stage at A.C.T.'s Toni Rembe Theater from Feb. 19 to March 22, with tickets $25–$130. Fisher collaborated with playwright Levi Holloway and director Felix Barrett. The creative process began before formal design, using warehouse workshops to prototype three to five core scares and produce practical effects and set pieces.
