Toche Thespians

Curtain Up! Light the Lights!

Are you a theater kid (derogatory) in mind, body, soul, and/or all of the above that tends to play a lot of bards in Dungeons & Dragons or other RPGs of that ilk? Then this is the zine for you!

Welcome to Toche Magnet High School’s spring performance of the classic greaser musical Pomade (which is “definitely” not based on a real, popular high school musical)! Powered by the Apocalypse World engine, three to five Players and one Drama Club Director (AKA the DCD) will play through four acts over the course of a high school musical: Auditions, Rehearsal, Opening Night, and the Cast Party. In each act, players are encouraged to follow the drama of the scenes and inspire each other to burst out into improvised songs! 

In this zine, you'll find:

•  Complete Rules, Setting, and Act Breakdown for a Theater Kid Musical one shot, built upon the Apocalypse World Engine.
•  Who’s Who In the Cast – 10 playable characters, such as The Diva, The Tenor, The Ingenue, The Techie, and more!
•  Musical Numbers – The basic tools to successfully improvise musical numbers and 15 sing-along mp3 tracks for download. 
• And more!

So, brush up your 32-bar audition cuts and strap on your character shoes! The audition sign-up sheet for Pomade has officially been posted!
