We loved One Last Thing Before You Go, at the Hollywood Fringe last year ago, and now the creative team behind it has expanded the idea of their “reverse haunted house” into a full show.
The short vignette was something truly special, so we’ve got hopes this piece carries through on the original’s promise.
Official Description Follows
The long-awaited expansion of the acclaimed, award-winning 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival production, “One Last Thing Before You Go”, is coming to Whittier this Halloween season. “Give Up the Ghost” is an interactive and immersive haunting play where you, the audience, are your own ghosts in the afterlife, lingering in death’s foyer before the Ferryman brings you across the River to your final destination.
Participants can interact with characters at the edge of life and death in scenes that can be violent, tragic, and occasionally darkly humorous. The actions you take changes your narrative, possibly even the show’s story. What choices will you make, as your beacon grows dim?
Wander in and out of group scenes and be guided by Shadows to intimate vignettes with 1–6 participants inside a 95-year-old, three-story church. Witness the sorrows and terrors of the living portrayed by our large, 30+ member cast featuring many stars of SoCal’s immersive theater community as well as new faces to the medium.
