Photo Flash: THE VIDEO GAMES, Starts rehearsals in NYC

MB Stage Productions has begun rehearsals for performances off-broadway at the Elektra Theatre. Performances will be Nov 19th - Dec 12th for a limited six show engagement.

THE VIDEO GAMES is an audience interactive comedy with loads of stage combat that places popular video games characters against one another in a Hunger Games esque battle to the death. The audience gets to vote for their favorite characters using their smartphones, interacting with actors and live voting during the show.

THE VIDEO GAMES, won awards at the Hollywood Fringe Festival (2015), was a selection for the San Diego International Fringe Festival (2016) and the New York International Fringe Festival (2016) and has played at many major comic conventions in the Southwest including Nerd-Con (2015-2016) Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con (ComikazeExpo,2015-2016).

Show description:

What if the fate of your favorite video game characters rested in your hands? Take control as they take the stage in THE VIDEO GAMES! Princess Zelda, Queen of The Console, is celebrating the 64th Annual Video Games and needs the audience's assistance (through social media) to ensure that this year's Games are bigger, badder, and bloodier than the year before! It's a different show every night as iconic pixelated heroes and villains, such as Donkey Kong, Lara Croft, the Master Chief, and more, compete to win the coveted title of Player One.
