Theatrical performances are becoming more and more creative with how they are immersing guests into the world of the show. Some theaters take it a step forward and immerse the guests in different ways before the first line of they show is even uttered. Orlando Shakes wanted their guests to enter Dartmoor before the show began and asked the UCF Themed Experience program to assist.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is a farcical take on a classic Sherlock Holmes story. It takes on the stance that the actors know that they are in a play and exist in the real world. In order to prepare the guests for the “horrors” they are about to endure, the theater has put together a mystery upon the moor within the lobby.
