The horror!! The horror!!! I'm not sure that I could, in my most fevered state or drug-aided frenzy, come up with a more appallingly frightening video game concept than Backstage, an interactive adventure starring Carol Channing.

Doing a theatrical tour can mean performing in a different theater every week, and there is always the challenge of successfully finding your way around each new backstage area. It can prove to be quite an adventure getting from the callboard, finding the dressing rooms and arriving on-stage without getting lost in the process! I even performed in a theater where audience members would mistakenly walk in through the door of my dressing room, thinking that it was the public restroom! Along with this, there are always the curious people who ask, "What is it like to be backstage?" Putting all of these experiences together, I came up with the idea for BACKSTAGE--an edutainment, multimedia theatrical game for the Mac & PC.
