Prismatic has been pushing the boundaries of art and diversifying stages since 2008.
Where do I get tickets?
Tickets are available via Prismatic's website, but it's worth noting a lot of the events are un-ticketed and free.
Are there festival passes?
No.
What is the must-see show?
With everything from live music to dance, it's hard to pick one Prismatic show–but for Team Coast, it comes down to the play Altar by Santiago Guzmán, showing Sep 27-28 at Neptune.
Tracing the deep love and deeper heartbreak main character Eugenio is experiencing during his first year living in St. John's. Feeling far removed from a boyfriend who ghosts him and his home country of Mexico, Eugenio decides to tap into his father's past experiences with the paranormal and with the holiday Dìa de Muertos to summon his boyfriend's 'ghost'—and sort out the relationship once and for all.
