a whole play? I don't know

usually masquerade skits are only 2-5 minutes long depending

and I guess the resources available depend on the convention, like, do you want it to be treated as a show/put in the same venue concerts and whatnot are being held in? Do you want it to just be out on the

convention stage?

If you can get a hold of the con's higher up staff who usually book stuff then it can't hurt to ask I guess

Yeah I was going to say, you may want to ask the staff

because that's a generally unique idea on its own and you may want to discuss what options you have based on their capabilities

they'd be able to help with getting the word out and listing the play as a feature event too

Yeah, hahaha it was just an idea, I don't think it'd be an immediate thing I'm like "I'M DOING THIS". But maybe more of a thing I work towards

I want to start looking into working on panels of a smaller nature or volunteering for now

This is a bit of a departure from my "Hey I want a butler cafe to be a thing at cons" crusade I was on at fanime

But I just wanted to know if that was something a con even had the capacity for

But if I could change the scope of some of these projects and had the cast power... I know there are con goers talented enough to work a stage production

That would be really fun if you could do it.
I think you did a great job handling all those kids for the play at the school. ' w '

And it'd be cool to see something like that happen at a con.

Bigger audience and more targeted toward than just HSer parents haha

And hey I think it's gotta be doable. People do panel things all the time and G had that whole CWF thing.

So "out of norm" panels is a thing

Yeah, that's one reason I thought this idea might still be realistic. The CWF is an atypical panel and I feel like fan panels are really hit or miss at most cons.

Industry will always have panels where they attend, but after going to see a couple fan-run ones at fanime this year for the first time in... I can't even remember

It was just like... there's gotta be more talent than this. More people that would want to do a bigger project

I'm sure they would! It's just a matter of finding them and getting everyone together that's the tough part

Maybe start out with small cast productions and grow it out as people gain interest?

God knows you're in a good location for this stuff

Yeah! I think starting smaller is a good idea. I need to understand the venue better too so I'd like to just help out people first and figure out if this is something people would come see at con

there's totally an audience for it. Were you thinking of venues for your cartoon/game theater adaptions then?

The only thing I could see being a problem is the first run or so before word of mouth spreads that it's legit and not uh... like an awkward masq skit for an hour

Yeah, or other people's if I could start collecting other interested writers. It doesn't have to be all my work

a cosplay/geek themed theater troupe is a really fun idea hahaha

dude I would be so in for tha

that

I thought you might Jacqui!

What a rad idea!

I love both helping to write/choreograph and being in skits and things so it'd be really fun!!

But nah dude I think this is a really cool idea!!

I don't know in some ways, because coordinating people and making sure there's a substantial audience might be tough. It sounds good tho

Who goes, who reliably performs without dropping out, and how do you finance it being major hurdles. Because while I know plenty of people

Who might attend an event like that if it were free; I'm not as sure about who would pay to see it. I stopped attending masquerade stuff

Because of length and skit quality, so projecting skill and good production value would be more crucial for a more adult audience

Buuuut both of those require money

If you've got concrete ideas for how to go about it , I'd like to hear them, it does sound really fun. Acting for askblog stuff is A+, so

I can only imagine that more of it would even better. I'm not professionally trained, but there are many people who are, for what you'd

Want. Cons attract drama nerds.
