They Played Productions' Immersive JUSTINE Returns For One Weekend

In March, They Played Productions launched their first immersive show, a psychologically based horror nightmare called Captivated: An Obsession in 3 Acts, with first segment of the story, Act One: Justine. Performed to sold-out audiences, Justine offered guests the chance to attend a dinner party. While everything seemed fine on the surface, audiences soon realized they were caught in a tale of fear, desperation, obsession and pride.

As audiences experienced the show, a simple evening of drinks and food became a tale of dark choices and evil secrets-and some of both were trying to break free.

Now, just before Act 2 opens on August 17th, Act One: Justine returns for one weekend of shows! 3 nights only, 3 shows a night, 5 audience members per show. Only 45 tickets available for those who missed their first chance to experience this tale or who want to refresh their memories before the new Act begins.

Justine is the first act of the 3-part story of Captivated. Audiences can enjoy each part individually or experience all 3 in order to have the fullest possible story. Throughout, Captivated explores the themes of need, love and the true depths of what someone is willing to do to achieve their goals.

This immersive experience designed for audience members 21+, as both food and drinks will be offered to audience members. The show is fully interactive, with audience members attending the show and interacting with actors in multiple ways.

Captivated is an immersive and interactive production of They Played Productions, a company launched by entertainment veterans Erik Blair and Thea Rivera. Blair has directed and performed in over 100 productions all over the country, as well as working with Sony, Disney and Warner Brothers on various projects. Rivera has focused on a career in technology but has worked 20 plus years in theatre, in all capacities. The two formed They Played Productions in 2017 to create content in all forms of visual entertainment. They were behind last year's Nothing Bad: A Werewolf Rock Musical, this year's production God: The Apologies Tour for Fringe and have more planned over the next year.

It's been a while since you had pizza and drinks with your friend Victoria, so you're excited that she's invited you to hang out tonight!

She's promised an intimate evening of just a few people at her place, including her friend since childhood, Ely, and his new girlfriend. Although you've never met either of them, Victoria promises they're perfectly wonderful people.

Conversations will ebb and flow within the group as a whole, individually, in sidebars, balcony discussions, car chats, and whispered asides. The dark story weaves around relationships, friendships, loyalty, and other pitfalls of social interaction. You will need to listen, question, explore, and dig deeper. Once your evening concludes, it's up to you to compare notes with your entourage to know what else was said and fill in missing pieces to the puzzling tale. You can't be everywhere at once.
