ABOUT
“This High-Tech Theater Project Aims To Resurrect An Artist Lost To AIDS”
RE: Imagining a Life is an immersive theater experience in development that explores the life of an actor who died of AIDS at the age of 29 who is resurrected to live his 50th year. Based on the success of its award-winning short film, The Prologue, RE is innovating a new vision of theater for modern audiences immersed in the Experience & Transformation Economies.

the Prologue
In RE's early incarnation, the prologue screened at film festivals around the country, winning multiple awards.
IMMERSIVE VISION
RE aims to be the first binge-worthy, immersive experience for live and onscreen audiences. A serious / comedic drama of meta-physical proportions.
THE JOURNAL
The source material for the drama of Marcus di Pino’s 50th year is the diary he keeps. It’s written in play form because he sees life as theater. The four scenes presented here are intended to give the reader a feeling for Marcus’s voice and to experience the overall tone of RE.
These scenes take place over the Christmas holiday. Marcus is dealing with his dying, overly-dramatic mother while trying to get himself cast in community theater; hook-up with anybody; and survive winter in a Pennsylvania farmhouse without heat or hot water. Marcus blames his sordid story on the bad script he’s been handed. Listening to the competing voices in his head (of Spalding Gray, Jerry Herman, Thorton Wilder and others) does not suggest that his REwrite of the drama is going to be any less messy, or miraculous.
