Masquerade

PrintE-mail

The Masquerade has always been a big part of MidSouthCon, and it has grown over the past few years into a truely wonderful event.

Scheduling

The Masquerade will be held Saturday Evening (Time TBA).

Prizes

We have cash prizes, certificates, convention memberships and hall costume awards.

Tech Rehearsal

The rehearsal will be on Saturday (time TBA). This is not a dress rehearsal, so you do not have to be in costume -- it is meant to allow you to become familiar with the stage and work out sound and lighting issues with the tech crew. Note: coming to the rehearsal is highly recommended, but not mandatory.

Masquerade Registration

To ensure a place in the masquerade, entrants should register at the MidSouthCon Masquerade registration table before 5 p.m. on the Saturday of the convention. If you are a part of a group presentation, one member should register for the entire group (listing all of the other members on the form).

You may pre-register for the Masquerade by e-mailing the information on this form to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . You should still check in at the Masquerade registration table and fill in the full forms (if for some reason you can't, you should inform us beforehand).

Masquerade Rules

We are working on the rules for MSC27's Masquerade and will have them posted soon, but they will be similar to the ones we used for MSC26 (which are listed below).

  • The Monster’s Million Faces

     

    He’s old this time. A hospital gown sags over his gaunt frame. IV wires stream from his arms, plugging him into a thousand machines. I could tear them out one by one.

    I ask, “Do you know who I am?”

    He rolls his head back and forth, trying to see. His eyes are pale with cataracts, roosting in nests of wrinkles. He gestures me closer, skin thin to the point of translucence, veins tunneling below.

    Recognition strikes. “You’re that boy I hurt. . . . All grown up. . . .”
