Can I have the White Elephant Burlesque Society perform at my next birthday/graduation/fetish convention/Bat Mitzvah/wedding/divorce?
It is a roleplaying term meaning “Out of Character.” It essentially means, in this context, that while the Society is proud to perform on stage and online, sometimes people want straight answers as to whose running things and how they work. We as actors and writers are happy to oblige. White Elephant is both a LARP (live-action roleplaying game) where the cast have distinct characterizations and a stage show. Depending on where you see us, you may catch us before and after shows in various stages of character. It’s sorta like a Renaissance Faire. Anything not marked as “OOC” can be assumed to be mainly in-character (as in, we are extending our performance online to explain ourselves as we would on stage). It will tend to be more vivid and colorful. Anything marked OOC is written by the writers in the real world… however grayscale that may be.
