FALL
IMMERSIVE
THEATRE

Since 2006, The Beaumont Studios' signature fall program. Immersive theatre, burlesque, projection mapping, themed cocktails, and live performers transform the entire building into an interactive experience unlike anything else in Vancouver.

// The Experience

ENTER THE
BEAUMONT

Every fall, The Beaumont Studios becomes something else entirely. A fully interactive journey where actors and staff, dressed in character, guide you through galleries, studios, hallways, staircases, and the covered courtyard. Every inch of the building becomes your playground.

Each year, the space is transformed with optical illusions, twisting labyrinths, eerie soundscapes, and mind-bending projection mapping. Art and technology merge to offer the community an innovative creative experience that brings the best of camp, horror, and burlesque together under one roof.

EVERY INCH OF
THE BEAUMONT

The program uses the entirety of The Beaumont Studios. Galleries, studios, hallways, staircases, and the covered courtyard are all integrated into the production. Multiple stages host different vignettes throughout the night, with a full bar serving themed cocktails.

Expect burlesque, drag, dark comedy, live music, and interactive installations. The lines between performer and audience blur in ways that stay with you long after the night ends.

GRINDHOUSE MEETS
DRAG HOUSE

This Halloween, The Beaumont Studios unleashed Theatre of the Damned - a raunchy, blood-splattered love letter to horror cinema, where cult classics were reborn in live performance, soaked in glitter and served with a healthy side of Beaumont sass.

Hosted by seductive scream queen Hellvira, this immersive haunted theatre twisted iconic horror scenes into never-before-seen vignettes - the lost reels, the alternate endings, the chaotic edits from hell. From the shadowy monsters of early black-and-white cinema to the masked killers of the '90s and the unsettling pagan frights of today.

Every year, we push ourselves outside of our own boundaries, driving immersive theatre in Vancouver into wilder and stranger territory. This year's spectacle is grindhouse meets drag house - blood, sequins, a beautiful chaos.

HORROR THROUGH
THE BEAUMONT LENS

Audiences journeyed through multiple performance spaces inside The Beaumont, each room transformed into surreal horror vignettes and chilling soundscapes. Six reimagined scripts in one night: Nosferatu, Little Shop of Horrors, Hannibal Lecter, The Ring, Midsommar, and more.

All through the lens of burlesque, drag, dark comedy, and satire - the only horror show in Vancouver that makes you laugh as hard as it makes you scream.
