What Is An Immersive Christmas Carol?

“An Immersive Christmas Carol” is a fully audio/visual experience that requires no live cast. It is a fully automated experience that can be set up in your venue over two or three days. Once installed, it will run with very little intervention.

The show runs between 45 minutes and an hour. Actual run time will depend on your venue and the show will be adapted to suit. The show will take six people through your venue at a time, with a new show starting every 15 minutes so a total of 24 people per hour being guided through your venue. Over the length of a six week run, it has a huge potential to bring new guests through your venue.

The experience debuted in Vancouver at the Roedde House Museum, a Victorian home, in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The event was carefully tailored to comply with all public health orders and, over its two week run, it was very well received, strongly attended, and lucrative for all parties.

Our first weekend and the entirety of our second week in Vancouver were completely sold out. Entries were timed and groups, at that time, restricted to the allowable “bubble” per BC guidlines. Even on the other side of the pandemic, the timed entries combined with small groups will insure a top quality experience for all audience members,

Roedde House Museum presented an Immersive Christmas Carol in December 2020, as a new way to connect to visitors through an enhanced tour format, while maintaining health and safety protocols. Tickets sold out with great speed and attendees raved about the experience afterwards. The production team was a pleasure to work with, and maintained respect for the museum, its collections, and the health and safety of staff and visitors, through all stages of the production. We look forward to a working with the team again for a longer run of the production in 2021!

Want To Get “An Immersive Christmas Carol” At Your Venue?

“An Immersive Christmas Carol” is designed to bring new crowds to your venue. Especially suited for museums that specialize in the Victorian era, An Immersive Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebinezer Scrouge as it guides your guests through the museum.

The shows first ran in December 2020 and was a huge success. Sold out within days, it brought a new crowd through the Roedde House Museum in Vancouver, but more than that, it created a huge interest in the museum from a new group of people.

I like the “storytelling experience” label, and I think that a lot of museums would respond well to that! Many are looking for new ways to tell stories and incorporate more storytelling, so this would catch attention.
