Cast

Golden is an troupe that performs silent narrative improv. It originated with the mainstage of the same name.

History

The troupe was a continuation of the April 2015 Hideout student mainstage production.

Format

Since Golden is a silent narrative show, there is a protagonist in each performance, and that person is pre-determined by the cast. At the beginning of the show, the protagonist takes a white board and asks the audience for a suggestion of an occupation. Once the occupation is selected, it is shared with both cast and audience, and then the show begins.

Fools Gold - Golden begins with a silent scene. The scene immediately following it is the exact same scene but adding dialogue.

Faceless - Golden uses full neutral mask in a montage format.
