In January, we attended Parturition-a play about being born-at Zombie Joe's in North Hollywood. Since Fear, co-creator Nicholas Sherwin has gone off on his own with a few other pieces under the name of Screenshot Productions.
While we were too busy being vomited on by naked people and crawling around an old warehouse to make the La Mirada-based haunt, it became clear that productions from these minds were not to be missed if you're the type of person that enjoys immersive theater. Tucked into the busy Halloween season, Fear Is What We Learned Here stood out among haunt aficionados for its beauty. But not all of these productions are scary-some of them are particularly relaxing. Eventually, you'll be interacting on a forum, communicating with people who talk of being invited to orientations where hoods are put over their heads or sent on missions to find people in parks. For instance, The Tension Experience-which begins by solving a puzzle on its website here-will soon net you creepy phone calls from someone that sounds like they're using a horror movie voice modifier. Here, it seems like our immersive experiences are a bit more underground, often anchored around Halloween. In New York, they have Sleep No More, Then She Fell and Grand Paradise. Actors can touch you, they know stuff about you, and you may find yourself exploring unknown settings on foot or alone. It's far more interactive than watching a film or traditional play, and can often be unsettling. Immersive entertainment is, plainly, weird.
