Meanwhile

"Meanwhile" is a short-form game where two players open a scene based on a suggested location. It rolls along until an off-stage player shouts "Meanwhile". With that, the focus jumps to a new location and maybe new characters, usually played by the player who called "Meanwhile" and one other. You keep leaping between scenes in different places every time someone calls "Meanwhile", building a story that ties together separate events all unfolding at once.

• Grab a starting location from the audience.
• Two players open a scene in that location.
• At any point, an off-stage player can shout "Meanwhile".
• On "Meanwhile", the scene jumps to a new location, often set up by the player who made the call.
• That player, maybe with one more, starts a new scene in the new location.
• Keep going as other players call "Meanwhile" to hop into more scenes in new places.

• You'll need an audience suggestion for a starting location.

• A variation called "Audience Meanwhile, Elsewhere" exists.
