The Original Sin City
Immersive theater, meets variety show, meets one hell of a party!
The Last Supper Club invites you to join us in the underworld for an evening of entertainment inspired by the 7 deadly sins, Dante's Divine Comedy, and the true history New Orleans. Immersive theater, meets variety show, meets one hell of a party! There will be live music, dancing, intimate interactions, variety acts, and even murder. π The Lore: On November 15th, the underworld is opening its gates to mortals for the first time since Dante. Hell's angels have decided it's time that people understand that we have so much more to offer than fire and brimstone. This time we're bringing a different kind of heat, and taking you to the hottest spots in town! Our first destination is Storyville, aka The Original Sin City. The Big Easy has long had a reputation for jazz music, dancing, gambling, red light districts... and murder. But don't worry. The resident sinners have promised to be on their best behavior for our mortal guests. And they're putting together quite a lineup for you! Festivities include: πΉ Immersive narrative with intimate performer interactions throughout the night. π Dirty dancing lesson (will include both solo and partnered moves) π· Live Music by Gabriele Saint and The Sound π Variety show with live vocal performances, burlesque, and more πͺ Costume Competition π Games with prizes πΆ DJ set by DJ Little Red Trigger Warnings: The performance will contain depictions of violence including fake blood and strobe lights. Note for Immersive enthusiasts: This experience is a unique blend of immersive theatre, variety show, and dance party. From the moment you enter the space you will be immersed in our fictional afterlife. The hosts are played by interactive characters and the acts are part of the story world. Though it is not pure theater, there is a narrative arch that unfolds over the course of the evening. The characters will be inviting select guests for intimate interactive experiences throughout. Guests will be able to wander and choose the degree to which they interact (or they can simply observe). A note for artists: Our mission is to support and inspire creators. We rarely offer public discounts because even if we sold out at full price, our team would be making far less than they deserve. We are in this for the love of it. That being said if cost is a prohibitive factor for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us about our robust volunteer program, and or limited subsidized tickets for artist.

Audience Role
Like Dante, guests are mortal visitors to the afterlife. There will be LOTS of opportunities to interact with the residents of hell, but no interaction is required. Guests will be given a visual indicator to signal to the performers their desired level of interaction. Some potential interactions include: - Intimate and group conversations with characters - A dirty dancing lesson (both solo and partnered moves) - Flirtation (possibly including receiving touch) from performers - Participation in games and competition - Gambling your life away
Ages: 21 +
The story centers around a brothel in Storyville, New Orleans. There won't be simulated sex, but there will be lots of sexual content.
