Speaking of which…
I am something of an evangelist for theater LARPing, especially for my own games. If anyone reading this is interested in the medium, or in being evangelized-at – even to the extent of “explain to me why anyone would do this stupid thing!” – just let me know, and I will be happy to chat / answer questions / pontificate at pretty much any length.
This goes double if you live in the NY area, meaning that I might actually be able to pull you into a game without very much logistical trouble.
