THE REVELRY BALL: A Regency Romance Masquerade

The Revelry Ball is a fully immersive Regency Romance Masquerade experience coming to Western North Carolina on April 4, 2026.

Hosted by The Smut Oracle and Painted Soul Studios, held at HART Theatre in Waynesville, North Carolina. This is not merely a themed dance. It's an immersive evening of dinner, dancing, elegance, atmosphere, music, and social intrigue, where guests are invited to participate, not merely observe.

Inspired by Regency-era romance and high-society spectacle, the evening unfolds through curated moments, masked mystery, and shared imagination. Whether you arrive adorned in full Regency attire or modern formal with a mask, you become part of the story. And you could even find yourself selected as the Diamond of the Season!

Expect:
• A Regency-inspired immersive atmosphere
• Masquerade elegance and dramatic visual design
• Curated social and theatrical moments
• Music, mingling, and community
• Champagne on arrival and dinner + dessert at your own pace

This immersive masquerade ball in Waynesville, NC is designed for participation, connection, and delight.
