The Last Night of Vivienne Black

YOU'RE INVITED

Friday Oct 17th, Saturday Oct 18th - Jersey City, NJ

The story of famed spiritualist Vivienne Black is cloaked in mystery, whispered only by those brave enough to speak her name. On a cold night in 1928, she vanished during a séance inside the old firehouse—gone in an instant, leaving only questions behind. Some claim her voice still lingers in the halls, her breath a chill in the air. This October, her story awakens as you cross the threshold into a world where spirits stir, illusions deceive, and masters of magic and mentalism reveal fragments of her tale. Step closer, and discover the truth of... "The Last Night of Vivienne Black.”

Frequently Axed Questions

Where is the show located?

The pre-show will begin at Franklin Social: 292 Barrow Street, Jersey City, NJ at your designated ticket time. Here you can enjoy a complimentary signature cocktail. Once the bell tolls, you will be led by candlelight on a short journey to the Firehouse.

This experience is designed for adventurous spirits who crave mystery, intimacy, and immersive storytelling. Guests should be comfortable with depictions of séances, spirits, and the supernatural. It’s ideal for those who appreciate live performance, magic, and narrative intrigue—not those seeking a haunted house or traditional stage show. Due to its mature themes, atmospheric nature, and alcohol served at the pre-show, it is recommended for ages 21+.

You can absolutely come alone if you like! 

No. Vivienne’s story is unsettling, not shocking. There are no jump scares, gore, blood, violence, or actors lunging from the dark. This is an evening of atmosphere, illusion, and mystery. However, there may be flashing lights and immersive effects such as fog and loud sounds, so those sensitive or prone to seizures should take heed.

The show lasts just under 2 hours. There is a 30 minute pre-show at the Franklin Social followed by a short walk to the firehouse where immersive experience begins.

If you select the dinner option you will be allotted 1.5 hours for dinner.

A complimentary signature cocktail is included with either ticket option.  Additional libations will be available for purchase for those who wish to indulge further.

Dinner is only included with the ‘dinner + show’ option. 

You should arrive at Franklin Social promptly at your selected time. Once a group departs no spirits are permitted to join the proceedings. So don’t be late! 

While this is an immersive experience, we ask that you do not touch the performers unless clearly invited to do so. Please respect their personal space and performance. Be aware that some light physical contact may occur as part of the performance.

Not beyond the bar. Once you cross into the firehouse, all devices must be silenced and put away. Some stories must be lived, not recorded. No one has ever captured Vivienne on film, and no one ever will… 

While there is no specific dress code, you may wish to don attire that you plan to wear for eternity, lest you do not make it out alive… 

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are recommended—this is a night of movement, not sitting still. Large bags and backpacks cannot pass through the realm so, we recommend packing light for your journey. 

This experience takes place in a historic building with multiple flights of stairs and narrow hallways. It is not wheelchair accessible and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Check with us first before purchasing a ticket if you have any questions. 

All ticket sales are final. Due to the intimate nature and limited capacity of this event, we are unable to offer refunds or exchanges once your ticket is purchased.

If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another guest, just email us with their full name at least 24 hours in advance.

Please arrive on time. Entry cannot be guaranteed for late arrivals, and missed entry times are non-refundable.

In the unlikely event that we must cancel a performance, guests will be notified as soon as possible and issued a full refund.

No smoking is permitted (including vaping) during the show. We do not permit reentrance once the show is in progress.
