Provides a basic foundation on game design tools useful to theater makers, studies examples of genre-bending game/theater hybrid artworks from current practitioners, and gives hands-on practice at making works in this vein. Game design offers tools to structure participatory storytelling, build compelling relationships between players and fictional worlds, and activate a sense of play for everyone involved.
