'The Willows' is the name of a new dinner show in Los Angeles that quickly draws attendees into a story about a dysfunctional, eccentric family.
The event is limited to just 18 tickets per performance, in which guests are invited into a "mysterious celebration" with The Willows over the course of two hours. The immersive dinner theater event is not set on a stage, but a large mansion in LA. While enjoying light food and drinks, guests will be able to explore the sprawling setting to gain a deeper understanding of the family's inner workings.
The intimate, immersive location-based experience transforms guests into characters who are essential to the story and asks: "Have you earned your place at the table?"
