Description: Player A is telling the audience about a recent trip he or she took (get suggestion from the audience as to the location). Player A mimes showing a slideshow, complete with "Click" for changing the slides. When the slide changes, the remainder of the players form a tableau of the slide, after which Player A describes the scene being pictured by the tableau.
Tips: This game really requires the stage lights to be able to go off and on, allowing the players to form the tableau in relative darkness in order to surprise the audience. Player A can describe the scene about to be shown ("In this next slide, you'll see..."), which allows the tableau players some information to use when posing; however, Player A can also leave it open-ended ("OK, this next slide is really interesting..."), at which point the tableau players form whatever poses they want and Player A must justify them.
Gimmicks: The slides can be backwards or upside down (or sideways). The slide could be in 3D - for this the tableau players can move closer (in varying degrees) to the audience, even so far as to be right in their faces. The slide could be in the wrong slideshow. ("Whoops! That's from my date last night! How'd that get in there!?")
