A local Cosplay Gala Fundraiser at a theatre venue takes a monstrous turn when a criminal costume disaster leaves Avocado Man on a quest for revenge, threatening to destroy the Gala.
“The Spin City Cosplayers” is a fictitious community of cosplayers. This musical comedy stage play/feature film is a Phantom of the Opera trope that takes place at a theater venue in Portland’s Weird Community.
We are finalizing the screenplay and will soon be taking it to market. Our wish-list items include the Keller Auditorium as our location and getting Fred Armisen in our cast.
Every year “The Spin City Cosplayers” put on their local Gala Fundraiser and, as usual, it promises to be the costume event of the year. Their non-profit is growing and their community seems to be thriving. It’s a culture of non-traditionalists, forging their own path through society by reidentifying themselves through cosplay as a wide range of self-prescribed characters. But there’s a fly in the ointment this year. With the Gala only days away, Sky Struzan, the event organizer, has a problem on his hands; Chad Tanzy, AKA “Avocado Man,” is mad and missing. Chad, known for being a bit difficult at times to work with, probably brought this on himself. Someone unknown, has vandalized Chad’s Avocado costume, turning it into a phallic nightmare and spraypainted it to say, “Knob Man.” After a complete meltdown and flipping out, Chad’s gone into hiding at the venue where rehearsals for the Gala are well underway. And now, with the event looming, he’s vowing to seek revenge and upend the event if the culprit doesn’t reveal themselves
