This game works fairly simple.

One person must answer (truthfully, as themselves, not the character they're playing) - what the "If I were..." or "If I had to..." situation is.

So for example, if the first poster put, "If I were ... on stage I would...?"

The next person replies, answering as themselves, what they would do on stage? They could take it anyway they wanted... if it was a play, concert, or explain how they have stage fright.

After answering they would change it to whatever they wanted (for example, they might say, "If I was a dog, I would...")

So I shall begin the first one (and let others in costume get the ball rolling)...
