About this Event

The Con by Tracey Wells

In this hilarious heist whodunit, a rare first issue comic is up for grabs. Set at a Comic-Con, this play consists of a series of vignettes, each with their own standalone story that also furthers the underlying plot of a con in progress. There’s a bat-tastic hero clowning around with his foe in “The LARP Knight Rises,” a video game menace who loses it in more ways than one in “A Plumber Cracks,” a D&D newbie who wants to let her inner gnome shine in “The Ballad of Lena Moonfallen,” some costumed competitors who will stop at nothing to complete their quartet in “Cosplaying with Fire” and much more. Keep your audience laughing and guessing with this clever Comic-Con caper!
