An interactive psycho-drama, casts visitors as dinner guests at a sinister Los Angeles mansion.

Step into something surreal, lurking just next door… The Willows invites guests to a clandestine family gathering inside a historic Los Angeles mansion—where secrets simmer under every toast and every smile & lingering glance hide a dark mystery. This is not a show you simply watch; it’s a multi-sensory, fully immersive experience where the line between guest, character, and reality dissolves.

With only 24 guests admitted per performance, every moment feels intimately personal, artfully crafted, and thrillingly real.
Over the course of the evening, you’ll wander richly detailed rooms, follow alluring characters, and piece together a story that feels part psychological thriller and part dark comedy of manners. Think A24’s haunting atmosphere colliding with the twisty intrigue of Glass Onion—a world of candlelight, vintage charm, and quiet menace, built for curious, open-minded adults (21+) who love to play, explore, and lean into the unknown.

Your participation is not just welcome: it’s essential. Conversations spark new paths, small choices ripple into big revelations, and no two journeys through the house are ever the same. As the night unfolds, you’ll be treated to hosted drinks and carefully curated hors d’oeuvres, with textures, tastes, sounds, and scents all working together to pull you deeper into the Willows family’s dark reality.

The Willows has become an iconic fixture in immersive theatre, praised for its dynamic interplay between audience and performer, its unforgettable characters, and its ability to make every guest feel like they’ve stumbled into LA nightlife’s best kept secret.

JFI Productions invites you to come home to The Willows…
