The Fun Family Xperience Theatre exists to create live interactive shows at the Virginia Beach oceanfront, with a purpose beyond simply entertaining. FFX has a purpose to see families being strengthened and encouraged through a unique shared experience with one another.
Our Story
We love families, and have a passion for seeing family members connect together in meaningful (and usually fun) ways! We have innovated an Xperience for your whole family unlike anything you've seen anywhere! Follow us or get involved as the show gears up into our first preview productions this year. Not just games, and not just a show with a great story, it’s both and more - and your family can be a part of it. Sit and watch a show - no way! With FFX you have fun being part of the whole Xperience, and might be selected in a challenge or game up on stage with zany characters. Over the course of our first year with the theater, the pandemic led us to adapt this singular show into a dozen different types of interactive family-friendly productions. Beyond the shows, our mission is to develop additional events and resources that continue to equip family members in their roles so that each family can discover their unique purpose, and realize they are stronger together.

Tim and Angie Ritter
FOUNDERS Tim and Angie are proud parents of two great kids (all grown up), several 'adopted' exchange students, and love all our extended family. Tim's work with kids and families around the world in education, counseling, corporate training, and as a family pastor all share a reputation for making things fun and thought-provoking. Angie shares a long-running passion for education, and currently serves at-risk children with developmental delays, and is a fantastic mom-preneur (including creating a terrific online video series for parents of young children.) Katie's experience in acting and stage management allows her to consult on various parts of FFX productions. Alec has a fantastic ear for music and a terrific eye for film-making, and uses both of those as both a professional cinematographer and worship artist. Tim loves travel adventures as a modern Indiana Jones, and once led over 250 adults in a simultaneous marshmallow juggling lesson. Angie laughs most at slapstick moments in shows, and has the unique talent of rolling her eyes in the funniest circles you've ever seen while turning her tongue upside down. The whole family enjoys seeing other families laugh and reconnect at Family Fun Xperience! |
