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.

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.
Who is this event for?
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+.
Do I have to come in a group or can I come alone?
You can absolutely come alone if you like!
Is this a haunted house with jump scares?
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.
How long does the show last?
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.
Are dinner and drinks served?
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.
When should we arrive?
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!
Can we interact with the performers?
Can I take photos or videos?
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…
What should I wear?
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.
Is the experience handicapped accessible
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.

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.
