ONE NIGHT AT GATSBY’S

Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic Jazz Age novel, The Great Gatsby Experience was a site-specific immersive production staged throughout the historic grounds of George C. Marshall’s Dodona Manor. Guests wandered freely through lavish parties, intimate confrontations, champagne-fueled celebrations, and hidden conversations as the world of West Egg unfolded around them, transforming the historic estate into a living 1920s dream.

Blending live theatre, music, dance, and environmental storytelling, the experience invited audiences to step directly into Gatsby’s glittering world of ambition, romance, and illusion. Designed to adapt to historic homes, gardens, estates, museums, and unusual venues, The Great Gatsby Experience can be reimagined for new spaces and communities through future partnerships and collaborations.

Step onto the grounds of one of Leesburg’s most treasured historic landmarks at George C. Marshall's Dodona Manor. Originally constructed in the early 1800s, this elegant Federal-style manor became the beloved home of General George C. Marshall and his wife Katherine from 1941 until 1959. It was here that Marshall, one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, reflected on world affairs after leading the Allied victory in World War II, serving as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, and developing the Marshall Plan, a landmark effort that helped rebuild Europe after the war and earned him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Today, the beautifully preserved house and gardens stand as a National Historic Landmark, offering visitors a rare connection to both Loudoun County history and world history.
