So, the idea was floated at Otakon during drunk discussions that with the number of people we bring to ACEN every year we could do a skit in the masquerade. Especially next year as I don't think we'll be having the TF2 group time.
This thread is to discuss pros/cons, gauge interest, and gather ideas...
What would a skit involve?

Edit: I swear to god no dance skits, so overplayed...comedy is best
This thread is to discuss pros/cons, gauge interest, and gather ideas...
What would a skit involve?
- Time Commitment - There will be judging and rehearsal since we can't really rehearse due to distance, things like pizza trips if you choose to participate will be no bueno, not to mention the ~4 hour time block on Saturday the masquerade takes up
- Audience Comfort - Can you get up in front of 1000+ people?
- Construction - Must be able to make your own stuff (75% of your costume), potentially you might not have to make anything if someone else in the group makes your costume, but this can put unnecessary strain on a few people making lots of costumes
- Stage Ninjas - If you can't construct we will still probably need at least 2 stage ninjas
- Floor Props - Ideally this would not be a lot, bringing a bunch of set pieces could be really burdensome, but also possible....
Idea Catalog:
- Silent Protagonist Support Group - Comedy group thing with characters from multiple series, one 'therapist' will be the only character to talk, notable silent protagonists - Chrono, Link, Chell, Gordon Freeman, Samus, Red
