LAST RITEs
The Majestic Ballroom
November 2025
Facades crack and long untold truths rise to the surface in this immersive murder mystery.
Guests wander throughout the two-story Majestic Ballroom to uncover the secrets hidden within. Covert meetings, heated exchanges, and suspicious motives dwell in its many rooms.
Last Rites is an original story with characters devised in collaboration with the cast.
After an initial sold out run of shows, the production was extended due to popular demand. Bellingham audiences were captivated by this unique performance experience.
“Entering the space was thrilling. The energy was clear and palpable.”
“The action moves from room to room, upstairs, downstairs, with everything everywhere all at once.”
“Fantastic show! This is the best dance experience I've ever seen.”
