WILLOWS THEATRE:
“CREEPING, ENGAGING, SHOCKING, SPECTACULAR…”
They make the Addams Family look like The Brady Brunch. Set in a sprawling early 20th century 10,000 square foot mansion on the most haunted block in Los Angeles, The Willows sold out all 400 performances during its 4 year run and gained legend status as a one-of-a-kind must-see-it-to-believe-it cult hit.
Tragedy has struck the Willows family, and guests are invited to their home to celebrate the life of a dearly departed friend. Drinks flow and dinner is served, but the night quickly takes a bizarre turn. It seems as though sinister forces are at work inside the house - and within the family. The friendly family facade begins to crumble, and, soon, guests are taken on a twisted, fully interactive thrill-ride where they aren’t just witnessing a story unfold: they’re living it.
This is an immersive combination of interactive and site-specific theatre, providing an exhilarating 2 hours full of exploration and discovery. With only 18 tickets available for each performance, guests will quickly lose their inhibitions in a uniquely intimate and personalized environment.
“JFI Productions, with the innovative touch of Willows Theatre, takes the tired dinner theatre concept and gives it a thorough shake-up. Everything about The Willows is unusual and resonates with an old school charm. The kind of dinner party that one can only hope to attend so that they have a great story for a future dinner party that won’t live up to this one…”

IMMERSIVE THEATRE IN LA MEETS VIRTUAL REALITY
Similar to the original immersive theatre experience in LA, the viewer becomes a part of an eccentric family’s story, a guest to a celebration rife with decadence and danger. As night closes in on this family’s mysterious manor, the viewer begins to find themself deep within a modern-day psychological mystery. Viewers will be drawn into haunting scenes and bizarre encounters, deciding their own journey at multiple decision points with four possible endings.
The immersive theatre experience runs approximately 56 minutes of straight play-through and 141 minutes of total runtime with all interactive options. The Willows in VR serves as a faithful adaptation of JFI Productions’ originally written and produced piece, incorporating the best moments from all 185 sold-out shows. JFI Productions also created Creep LA, an award-winning immersive haunted experience, which transported an audience of thousands into surreal and frightening worlds.
