Immersive experiences.

Electric Playhouse knows how to bring a new world to life.

This is the reason the Albuquerque-based company has branched out to giving immersive dining experiences.

Its latest is called “Cosmic Odyssey.” The dining experience is held at 6:30 p.m. each Friday in September at Electric Playhouse.

“We’re thrilled to launch ‘Cosmic Odyssey,’ an experience that combines immersive art and fine dining in a way that’s never been done before,” says Brandon Garrett, Electric Playhouse CEO. “Leveraging our cutting-edge motion tracking technology, we’re elevating the entire dining experience into a state-of-the-art culinary adventure. This is just the beginning; every month we’ll introduce a new themed dinner, offering a continuous journey of sensory delights throughout the year.”

“Cosmic Odyssey” takes diners in an experience through an intergalactic journey through the cosmos.

Garrett says each person will step into a space-themed immersive dinner that will enchant you with celestial visuals and delectable culinary creations that are out of worldly.
