Pick Your Own Path (original title: Choose Your Own Adventure) is the Hideout Theatre's monthly Friday-night show based on Choose Your Own Adventure novels.

It is part of The Wheel.

Summary

In Pick Your Own Path, the story takes the form of a middle-schooler going off on a crazy adventure. Periodically, the show's narrator stops the proceedings and offers the audience a choice for how to proceed. The audience votes for their choice via applause, and the story proceeds accordingly. Choices may lead to the protagonist's death, in which case, the narrator ratchets back the story and tries another alternative.

History

This show originated as a Cagematch show from The Dark Bloodlords. They played three shows in 2006. A year later, several Hideout players performed a Harry-Potter-themed Choose Your Own Adventure show for an event associated with the latest Harry Potter book release. In October 2010, it began a run at The Hideout Theatre as part of The Wheel.

The show began its run with the name Choose Your Own Adventure, but on November 4th, 2010, The Hideout Theatre received a cease-and-desist letter from Chooseco, the publisher of the Choose Your Own Adventure line of books.
