    Make A Scene Comedy Show

    Garden City · The Creative Space, 121 E 34th St

    An audience-driven improv experience unfolds as the cast builds a single one act play entirely from crowd suggestions. Performed without a script in one uninterrupted piece, the story develops in real time as characters, relationships, and comedy emerge on the spot. It all begins with a location offered by the audience, perhaps a bustling airport, a deserted theme park, or a fast food break room, and that setting becomes the springboard for a tale told once and never repeated. The result is spontaneous twists, genuine connections, and plenty of laughs as the performers discover where the story goes.

    Kill Team Showdown: The Draft

    Meridian · Phoenix Fire Games, 82 E Fairview Ave

    Phoenix Fire Games presents a Kill Team event built around a draft-inspired twist that starts the strategy phase before any dice are rolled. Each player arrives with three distinct Kill Teams, reveals all three to their opponent, secretly removes one of the opponent’s options from contention, then simultaneously selects from their remaining two to lock in the matchup for the round. This format rewards sharp planning, mind games, and confident execution on the tabletop. Come prepared to run all three of your teams and bring everything you need to play them, including rules, operative and faction references, equipment details, tokens, markers, and any other essential materials, since opponents may not have extras. Players without three teams are still welcome, and arrangements can be made in advance to make sure everyone gets a game. Rounds use strict time management with a short window at the start for reveals, bans, and setup, and hard dice down to keep the day moving. Prizes and a wrap-up bring the event to a close.
