We have some exciting events and performances planned for Pi-Con this year.
Friday
- White Elephant Burlesque Society
- Coming all the way from Jersey, the White Elephant Burlesque Society "aim
to bring the symbolism of freedom, joy, romance, sexuality, and theatrics
that captivated the audiences of the original vaudeville and burlesque ages
to the modern."
- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- The South Hadley-based Come Again Players will be performing. They have
several pre-shows as well as a live shadow cast during the movie. Bring
your angsty-goth-teen outfits and your favorite audience participation
lines.
Saturday
- Realms LARP
- All day, this medieval fantasy live-action roleplaying group will be
holding a tournament for their regular players, and introducing new folks
to the game. Boffing will be outside, next to the pond.
- Belly dance cabaret
- This group of talented dancers from the area will perform traditional and
modern belly-dance pieces. To be followed by an introductory belly-dance
class.
- Knights Challenge Boffing
- A presentation of medieval European swordsmanship and its modern study. And an opportunity to try your hand at medieval longsword against our champion. Culminating in a tourney of the best fighters. Are you up to the Challenge? Presented by the Historical Boffing Association.
- Masquerade ball
- Ballroom dance (dances will be taught), costume awards (by costumer Sara
Harvey), and a kilt-wearing contest (judged by KT Pinto). Salon E will be
