Make a Scene

A standout feature of our Saturday night party is Frosted Canvas' theme cake! Each year she’s surprised us with an edible interpretation of the festival theme. Always vegan, always delicious!

Reminder! August 2, 2026 is the last day to register for this year's Make a Scene Scenario Festival!

Let's Discuss!

Larp often inspires us to create playlists!

If you feel so inspired, share a link to a playlist you've created for a larp or specific character, or explain why a specific song reminds you of a larp experience!

Michelle Hofeldt, whose larp scenario Un/sanctioned Songs will be premiering at Make a Scene 2026, is a Minneapolis local and nonbinary, transgender, and q***r musician, instrumental music teacher, and community co-organizer. They were introduced to Larp House in 2023 and Make a Scene in 2025 through fantastic friends who knew they loved roleplay-heavy tabletop games. “Un/sanctioned Songs” is their first larp, and it was written while they were living through and educating in the midst of the [ongoing] ICE occupation in Minneapolis, the repercussions of which are still being felt by their students and much-loved community, and the [ongoing] rebellion against which was a central spark of inspiration to write this larp.

Un/sanctioned Songs by Michelle Hofeldt
You are a group of musicians and producers. Shape your character’s story as you navigate the consequences of state censorship, grapple with the spectre of self-censorship, and try to stay true to your ideals. Can you collectively organize a resistance strong enough to speak out against the Regime?

Micah Amundsen (aka the Symphony System), whose larp scenario Ready, Set, Switch is premiering at Make a Scene 2026, has participated in MAS since the beginning, and has been threatening to write a scenario for a few years, and now they've finally done it. Larping has helped them explore and understand their own system, and now presents an opportunity to share these unique feelings for others. Very little media, besides their own webcomic (The Roommate from Hell), and maybe Steven Universe, actually explores positive feelings and experiences in being plural, so that was a primary goal for this scenario.
