ABSTRACT:
A performing artist game, including a game board with a playing surface containing a first space in the form of a five pointed star and a group of second spaces defining a five pointed star in a playing path surrounding the first star, is shown. Points of the first star and second star define a transition path where play is commenced and terminated. The group of second spaces contains indicia indicative of five performing art fields and indicia representing a combination of opportunity and/or calamity to vary the game. Play pieces are used for movement during the game. A chance device is used to randomly determine the number of spaces a play piece is advanced. Audition cards are used which contain a situation side and a team question side. The situation side includes indicia defining a plurality of performing artist roles which correspond to the indicia indicative of performing art fields on the playing path. The team question side includes text defining a multipart answer to a team question relating to performing artist roles. In play, the performing player reads aloud the corresponding team question from the audition card. The performing player then performs the assigned role. The other members of the playing team must answer part or all of the multipart answer required to the team question based upon the performance rendered by the performing player.
