The Nest Announces Fall Season with Goldfish in September and Reimagined Magic-Theater Hybrid Trap Doors in October

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Nest, a nonprofit arts hub in Beverly Hills dedicated to accessible, inclusive theater, has unveiled updates to its 2025 season. Following September’s production of Goldfish by John Kolvenbach, The Nest will stage Trap Doors (formerly Magic Man)—a groundbreaking fusion of world-class illusion and intimate storytelling, running October 10–31.

Reimagined with the expertise of world-renowned magic consultant Daniel Garcia (credits include David Blaine, David Copperfield, Neil Patrick Harris), Trap Doors blends Garcia’s innovations with the vulnerable and compelling performance of creator-performer Will Coile, delivering a rare union of breathtaking magic and moving theater.

“Artists need more than gigs—they need a home, a place to grow and take creative risks,” said Amanda Bird, Founder and Artistic Director of The Nest. “The Nest was created as a way to break down barriers in LA’s theater community and ignite collective possibility through accessible productions, training, and outreach.”
