About First Person Immersive
First Person Immersive was founded in the summer of 2025 by lifelong theater practitioners Natalie Senecal and Mike Vargovich. Having worked across nearly every facet of theater, the duo set out to create a new kind of performance—one that audiences don’t simply watch, but actively shape through presence, choice and participation.
Rooted in a generation raised on screens and a wealth of media, First Person Immersive challenges passive consumption through intimate, exploratory storytelling. Drawing inspiration from expansive narrative worlds, their work constructs fully realized environments where audiences step inside the story, engage directly with characters and uncover meaning through discovery.
Originally from Las Vegas, Senecal and Vargovich relocated to Chicago to pursue their dream of creating immersive works and to bring this deeply personal, world-driven approach to theater to one of the country’s most storied stages.
