Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library: Babalon

In the 1940’s, Jack Parsons worked in his lab by day to build rockets; by night, the young scientist would host occult parties in his Pasadena home. Both a pioneering rocket scientist and disciple of Aleister Crowley, Parsons attracted strange souls to him like moths to a flame – people like the mysterious artist Marjorie Cameron and the notorious L. Ron Hubbard. Together these three would work mystic rituals in the desert to invoke the goddess Babalon and usher in a new era. They would make history together… and tragedy.

Based on an incredible true story, Paul Green’s Babalon follows Parsons, Hubbard, Cameron, and Crowley as they commune and scheme and conjure their futures into being.
A U.S. premiere, Space 55, Ronin Theatre Collaborative and The Irish Cultural Center are proud to bring this poetic, haunting work of speculative theatre to life.
Directed by BJ Garrett, Babalon features performances by Angel Lopez, Clara Bentz, Matt Clarke, Cody Goulder, Melody Knudson, Maddie Miller, and Ken Bailes.
