Real Immersed Productions (RiP) creates live immersive performances that build community and challenge cultural norms through play. Our work asks what it means to be authentically human in an age shaped by AI and social media.
Each show invites guests into distinct worlds—colorful characters, eras, and communities they can step into or simply observe. With our “play optional” approach, audiences choose their own level of participation.
Blending performance with multimedia storytelling, our mockumentary-style formats encourage guests to document their experience, becoming part of the story itself.
As we expand our work, RiP continues to explore reality TV and its impact on American culture—with our Vanderhump Rules project currently in development.
