IMMERSIVE THEATER PRODUCTION COMPANY
PUBLIC SHOWS | PRIVATE EVENTS & EXPERIENCES
-
Real Immersed Productions (RiP) creates live immersive performances that build community and challenge cultural norms through play. Our work asks what it means to be authentically human in an age shaped by AI and social media.
Each show invites guests into distinct worlds—colorful characters, eras, and communities they can step into or simply observe. With our “play optional” approach, audiences choose their own level of participation.
Blending performance with multimedia storytelling, our mockumentary-style formats encourage guests to document their experience, becoming part of the story itself.
As we expand our work, RiP continues to explore reality TV and its impact on American culture—with our Vanderhump Rules project currently in development.

“THIS is how you get young people to see theater. It was really amazing to have a cast and audience of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, ages, and races participating and making each other laugh. Won’t miss the next one!

Drag Brunch Audience Member
The Valentine’s Day show at RIP was such a blast! The cast was fantastic! We had not attended a murder mystery event before, so didn’t know what to expect. We totally got drawn into the show & story! So much fun to “solve the crime”!!

Audience Member, Vday QED Drag Brunch
“I wanted to share how much we enjoyed this brunch/show. My granddaughter participated as a character (Glasses Bye) and she had the time of her life! You were all so welcoming, fun, and inclusive. The active audience participation kept everyone engaged. The camaraderie of the other guests was outstanding, and seemingly motivated by your excellent actors and hosts, and great planning.”
