I've been working on another Secret Plan for a while - this involves vaudeville/music hall in SL. As I envision it right now, it will be a series of short but pithy acts ranging the gamut that includes juggling, comedy schtick, fan dancing, magic, animal acts, etc., etc.

I am hoping to get people motivated to polish their own acts - I will provide a framework to plug those acts into. Ideally it would be performed sometime in the weeks before Christmas.

Are you interested? This is to be a silly and fun thing for both performers and viewers. I think the responsibilities for performers would be slight - think of a cool act, make/find the anims/costumes/etc. Practice until it's good. Could involve 1 or many people in an act. Time can vary but should be short.

My framework would be a show format with curtain, placards on a stand or carried by "showgirl" avatars, a big hook, etc., etc. At some point we can rehearse as a group. I want the performance to be filmed.

I have, perhaps, 5 acts now. What weirdness can you contribute?

Keep in mind it doesn't need to be a huge commitment - a short but fabuloso act that you devise and rehearse can be something you do in your idle hours. I'd like this to be performed around Christmas, so it's not a huge rush.

It would be fun to have the performance troupe available (not everyone has to perform each time) so that a sim owner could say - Hey, come and put on a show for us! And we could zoom over like the traveling acting troupes of Elizabethan times. Let's have fun.

Problems can be solved and acts written if you need it, by contacting me, as I can try to put people wanting collaborators together with people who have skills to share.
