Hydaelyn Role-Players

Roleplayers' Guild, a troupe of actors and performers based in Gridania, proudly announces its premiere play event featuring
I Want to Be Your Canary, a famous play written by Lord Avon in Final Fantasy IX. Speaking on OOC terms, this is our first of many public community events, and we sincerely hope that you can attend to help support our community-building cause.

Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

The play will be performed at Mih Khetto's Ampitheatre in Old Gridania at 6:00 PM EST on Sunday the 15th. If attending, please arrive ten minutes early so that you may claim your seat before we begin. We'll have a small introduction beforehand.

Our purpose with this play is to bring roleplayers together and create a fun meet/greet environment and also to entertain. We hope to make this a fun experience for not only your character, but for you as well. We will be including the sword fight with Zidane and Blank as well as a classical Final Fantasy turn-based battle scene where King Leo and his lackeys clash with the play's heroes. Using emotes and animated buff spells, we hope to make it as flashy and entertaining as we possibly can.

During the main event our actors will be heard in the /yell chat. This means you may talk in /say and /emote all you want during the performance. It won't bother us. Below is an image of the location with the /yell distance radius colored in blue. Anywhere outside that, you won't be able to hear us. Therefore we do ask that you stay within this area during the event.



Unfortunately we still need more help before we can perform. Most of our roles are filled but we need a male roegadyn to play as King Leo, and another character to play as Prince Schneider. If you can help us with this, we greatly appreciate it. The entire play will be scripted and all of our actors are going to receive a copy of the script that they can either memorize or copy/paste. Though be aware that if we don't have enough actors or if someone doesn't show up, we can't perform the play.

Hope to see everyone there! I'll be playing as Princess Cornelia for those who want to know
Also there will be a meet and greet after the play so feel free to hang around and talk to us/others.

Oh and lastly, if you're wondering how your character knows about the event, it has been posted on signs all around Grid. And it is also to be assumed that the play occurs during the night, around 9 PM, regardless of server time or the day/night cycle.

This is very interesting. I will certainly be there to watch.

Count me in for the Audience! this is certainly something that will be fun to watch. Good luck finding the cast you need.

This is great news indeed. I bet the whole amphitheatre will get flooded!

Aw, this is going to be in Gilgamesh???
That's a shame. I would have loved to see it otherwise, but my one and only main at the moment has been in Balmung.

Still, it sounds really lovely! Do you think anyone could possibly record it?

Actually a lot of people have been requesting that we record it and post to YouTube. If anyone wants to do so, you're perfectly welcome. I however can't record with fraps due to insufficient computer specs.

I'd offer to record, but as a performer in the play it might be a bit difficult to do so. It would be really nice if someone found a way to do so. 

I seriously hope all of you guys and gals come out to see us! It'll be fun for all!

Why not roll a temporary Gilgamesh alt and come by and see the event yourself?

Because I'd be tempted to also roleplay with others, and I wouldn't want to start up connections when I'm ultimately going to neglect or abandon the character I made to watch the play.

This looks -fabulous-! Can't wait to see it!

I love fun stuff! I will Toats be there.

This sounds really cool. I'll be marking my calendar!

I just updated the original post with the script we will be using. If you're a part of the cast, please download and study your lines. Also, make sure you read the entire thing. You need to at least understand the play. Also, I found that male roegadyn that I needed for King Leo. Now we just need somebody to play as Prince Schneider. It's the most minor role. Any takers?

Do you have everything you need?

God this event sounds amazing...

But I work on Sundays -.-

I swear all these great events always play out on the weekends ><
