THE DEATH OF RASPUTIN Extends For Two More Weeks on Governors Island

The Death of Rasputin will welcome potential followers into their world for an additional two weeks. Summoned into existence by the sorceresses of Artemis is Burning—a formidable, female-led creative force comprised of industry veterans from film, television, and theater—The Death of Rasputin began performances at LMCC’s Arts Center at Governors Island on April 17, 2025, and opened April 25. Previously on sale through May 31, tickets are now available through June 15, 2025.
 
This spring, step into a world where history is suspended, loyalty is tested, and desire will save you. With original cast members of Sleep No More as part of the lead creative and Production Team, The Death of Rasputin isn’t just an immersive performance—it’s a revolution. Stakes are high. Where will your allegiance lie?
 
The Death of Rasputin is conceptualized by Ashley Brett Chipman (“Servant”) and directed by Ashley Brett Chipman & Hope Youngblood (Sleep No More), with assistant direction by Julia Sharpe. Collectively written by Julia Sharpe, David Campbell, Hope Youngblood & Ashley Brett Chipman, The Death of Rasputin features choreography by JAMES FINNEMORE (TERRA) and production management by Allison Camali, and is produced by Kelly Bartnik (Sleep No More).
 
Whispers in the candlelight, shadows in the corridors— The Death of Rasputin is no mere play; it is a descent into decadence, a fever-dream of power, prophecy, and betrayal. This debaucherous satire unfolds as a lavish, unholy revel, conjuring the espionage and mysticism that danced at the edges of the Romanov dynasty in its twilight hour. Here, every character claws for dominion, every ambition is laced with poison, and every grasp for power pulls them closer to the abyss.
 
With history and legend entwined, and the specter of Rasputin looming large, this production dares to reclaim the grand spectacle of immersive performance, shattering the mold long held by the few. The revolution is here. The prophecy is written. Will you heed the call?
 
The cast of The Death of Rasputin includes Jake Ryan Lozano (the bandaged place), Ginger Kearns (Hotel Wonderland), Zina Zinchenko (Sleep No More), Adam Griffith (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberly), Audrey Tchoukoua (Macbeth), Manatsu Tanaka (The Nosebleed), Tim Creavin (Lempicka), John William Watkins (Midnight Coleslaw), Lucy York Struever (Angels in America), Cashton Rehklau (Bloodshot), and Louis Butelli (Amadeus).
 
The Death of Rasputin features set design by Lili Teplan (Love, Brooklyn), costume design by Eulyn Colette Hufkie (“The Walking Dead”), lighting design by Devin Cameron (The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart) and sound design by Stephen Dobbie (The Burnt City).
 
Performances of The Death of Rasputin are currently Thursdays - Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3:15pm. Beginning June 7 there will also be performances on Saturdays at 4pm. From downtown Manhattan, audiences will board a ferry, leaving behind the familiar and stepping into the unknown on Governors Island—a threshold where history lingers and secrets whisper.
