Would you be interested enough to bid in a YCH auction for a character? What sort of character do you envision? - a student who gets hanged (demo? party?) - a graduate who finds a buyer and goes off to do his/her final show? - a student who overcomes some obstacle and goes on with his/her studies? - someone applying for entrance to the Academy? - something else (please specify)?

That playlet and the subsequent hanging is the "final show."
