Switch - Negotiations at a Car Dealer

A game of switch. Two players do a scene that takes place at a car dealer. At any point he feels like it, one player (to the left side) can call "Switch" at which point the players on stage must switch the last thing they said or did.

Dead Actors - The Matrix

We present a play in which just before the curtain goes up all of the actors but one dies in a tragic accident. But, the show must go on! The remaining actor is left to perform the entire play himself using the bodies of the dead actors much like the body of the title character in Weekend At Bernie's. In this performance, Adam performed a stage adaptation of The Matrix. (Many thanks to our friends in SUNY Fredonia for the idea for this game). -- Dead Actors - The Matrix
