Cast Party

By Susan Weiner
Players: 8
Genre:
Theatre/realist
Tonight is the cast party for a
small community theatre in a large college town. Their latest show “The Night
Watchman’s Daughter” has just finished relatively successfully. It was
well-reviewed, covered its costs through ticket sales, and even made enough
money to pay for some food and booze for a nice cast party. The last showing
has gone up and it’s time to relax, hang out with friends in the cast and talk
about what’s next.
Cast Party is a game that looks at
the relationship between player and character in both in and out of game ways.
The in game portion is actually a two-hour game. Before the game, players will
have a chance to fill out casting questionnaires, and then read all the
character sheets. In the first hour, they will use this information to cast themselves.
Then they play the game in the remaining time, ending with a debrief and
discussion of casting. 18+ only. Content warnings: pregnancy, miscarriage,
polyamory, non-binary gender, prostitution, relationship issues, jealousy,
biphobia, gender dysphoria.
Cost: free
