a hidden world of Victorian Elegance


Become the star of your own victorian ghost story

If you crave the extraordinary, Friends of Autumn offers hidden events at historical locations throughout Philadelphia.

Created by Emmy-winning artist Tome Wilson, Friends of Autumn exists in the liminal space between theater and reality. Lose yourself in a stylish world where every detail is caressed by velvet. Dance to live chamber music by candlelight, experience thrilling magic shows, feast at luxurious dinners, and commune with spirits at heart-pounding séances.

This is not your typical night out. Our uniquely adult events recreate the mystique of a Victorian secret society, and you’re invited to join us, even if just for the evening.

Limited invitations. Unforgettable nights.

What Are
Immersive events?

Immersive events are interactive theatrical experiences that stimulate every sense.

Step into a world where you shape the story and choose your own adventure, like exploring a theme park built just for adults.

Dine with ghosts in a haunted manor or dance with the rich & infamous at a glamorous Victorian ball. Live your wildest fantasies. Immersive events transport you to these extraordinary worlds, offering an upscale escape from the ordinary.
