: Speakeasy is an incredible immersive experience where you're transported back

[0:00:15]
: 1920s. What we've done is we've created a fully realize club that would have e

[0:00:20]
: in San Francisco in 1923. You're free to explore as you would in life. It's

[0:00:26]
: like a choose your own adventure. You can go to any of these rooms. You

[0:00:29]
: can have a drink at the bar. You can actually gamble, or you can sit

[0:00:32]
: in the cabaret and watch a show. We ran the show in 2014. We did

[0:00:37]
: a five month run. We had incredible success. We had 75 performances. We comple

[0:00:42]
: out across the board. We actually got to the point, which is so exciting, we

[0:00:45]
: were sold out up to ten weeks in advance. We spent about $250,000 of which

[0:00:50]
: we had investors for. Not only did we make all the money back, but we

[0:00:54]
: also gave all our investors a 56% return, which we were very excited to do.

[0:00:59]
: Everything about this production is scaled up from the first production. We've

[0:01:03]
: little over 3,000 square feet to just under 10,000 square feet. We have a perm

[0:01:08]
: home. We have a long term lease. We're putting two million dollars into the ve

[0:01:13]
: It's everywhere from the wallpaper to the carpet to the tile in the bathroom f

[0:01:17]
: We want to create a very period authentic space that people can get lost in.

[0:01:25]
: It's like stepping back in time to another world. I think there's something ab

[0:01:32]
: telling you how you should live your life, and the rejection of that. The reje

[0:01:39]
: of saying, "No, you don't tell me how I live my life. I'm going to

[0:01:41]
: choose to live my life the way I want to." And the show that we

[0:01:45]
: we've been working on and creating has really taken that spirit and that idea;

[0:01:51]
: for me, the show is about enjoying the time that you have while you have

[0:01:57]
: it, enjoying the people that you're with. At the very least, have a drink and

[0:02:03]
: dance a little bit. Listen to some good music and enjoy this moment that we

[0:02:08]
: call life.
