Description:
- We shared a lot of roles, allowing me to get a taste of everything. The idea behind Grumpy Gus was to build a world that used sound input to give feedback to the guests.  We decided create an incredibly cute world, but to have poor Gus the Cloud have a really tragic past which prevents him from being happy.  The audience sings to Gus, which makes him happier.  One of our biggest challenges was choosing popular songs that would get the whole crowd involved and making sure our 'gags' were really as funny as we thought they were. This world became the finale for the 2008 BVW Show at Carnegie Mellon University.
