97% of students play video games at least once a month. If any of your students aren't turned on to theatre, this will be the switch.
With references spanning the Simpsons and Twilight to Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes, GAM3RS abounds in highly relate-able and teachable moments.

The Experience
There are two versions of GAM3RS, the play:
The full length, 70-minute version and/or the condensed, 20-minute version.
Both are hilarious and either can be accompanied by:
- An after show talk-back (Q&A) with the class, assembly, or audience
-Your choice of WORKSHOPS, one of the most dynamic aspects of the GAM3RS experience.

An Easy Production
For all its complex humor and plot, the show can be performed very simply. It has only the one actor, and requires one person to handle basic lights/sound.
The show can be performed in any venue from a classroom to a large auditorium or gymnasium. At MIT we did the show in a museum.
The only set required is a desk, a chair and two cubicle walls (or a reasonable facsimile thereof). All of the props fit in Brian's suitcase.
There is a package for any budget based on the length of show, the number of workshops and how much of the crew and what services the host venue provides.
