This genre of theatre does not fit the traditional mold of perfor mance, with actors who are sepa rated from the audience by an in visible wall. “It’s a show that exists in the fourth dimension, rather than the third,” Miller says. This weekend’s show will be more generic, Miller says, to feel out the area and see if it’s con ducive to the art form. An engage ment party will set the scene. The audience should feel like it is at tending the real engagement of a friend’s daughter or something similar, he explains. “The idea is to portray as close to real life as possible,” he ex plains. That doesn’t mean viewers have to participate, however. There has to be a certain amount of improvisation used to accom modate different types of crowds and each show is completely dif ferent for this reason, Miller says. Even the number of actors can vary between Saturday and Sun day’s performances. Freshness is further maintained because the ac tors have the flexibility of adapting their characters to fit their real mood on any given night. “Anything goes, [and] there is no censorship or rules,” Miller says. There is also no script, though the troupe loosely follows an original storyline, and tension mounts all evening. “All anyone knows is that some body is going to die,” he adds. Aiter being introduced to mystery theatre while working in California, Miller says he let the idea brew in his head for two or three years. Then, by talking about his pro posal for a Eugene-based group around the University’s theatre department, he found enough people to start rehearsals.
