Boom! Immersive Theatrical Experience for Britannia Mine Musuem
www.livedesignonline.com: Along the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, the 96-year-old Mill No. 3 is nestled against the side of a mountain. Shut down in 1974, the 20-story national historic building was reopened in 2010 as the Britannia Mine Museum. Launched on June 1, BOOM!, a live-action, multi-sensory special effects show, transports visitors back to the 1920s when the Mill was booming as the largest copper producer in the British Commonwealth.

With our ability to use technology to create theatrical experiences constantly increasing, we are constantly pushing to boundaries of what theater can be and where it can exist. One of the newest waves in theater is the concept of immersive theater, where the audience is heavily involved in the evolution of the "show." Immersive theater is simultaneously a spectacle and a performance, and it relies heavily on "thinking outside the box." One of the hardest parts of immersive theater is how nontraditional it is. You can not rely on the comfort of a traditional theater, but instead must design a production to a totally unique and unconventional space. Further, an immersive theater experience struggles with the fact that the audience might not be accustomed to whatever knowledge you are trying to impart on them. These factors, along with a host of other challenges, makes immersive theater one of the most challenging types of theater to produce and create. With this in mind, it is likely that we will continue to create more and more immersive theater experiences, as we continue to try and consume more and more experiences, but this will continue to push us towards more inventive solutions to unconventional immersive theater problems.
