During the Siege of Orgrimmar, years ago, two visionaries saw a world beset by fear of tyranny and lacking in spirit and good humor. From the ashen cradle of the Tirisfal Glades, and the mind and pockets of a man from Silvermoon City, talent from far and wide was brought together to find a solution to the world’s woes, but through the art of performance rather than the art of war.
Established by Father Irreverent of the Church of the Forgotten Shadow, and Lord Atos Sunhart of the Silvermoon Thespian Society prior, the Tirisfal Theatre Troupe has been performing for Wyrmrest Accord for nearly 7 years as of October 2020. In 2019, Atos stepped down from leadership and passed the mantle to Director Fehl, who led the troupe until recently. Atos has returned to the role of Director as of August 2020, with renewed purpose and passion. While long hiatuses have been somewhat typical in the past few years for us, we are back with renewed purpose and direction, and ready to bring the show back to Azeroth and beyond!
We perform plays, both written in-house and from submissions. Over the years, we’ve done over thirty different shows, with the biggest and most well-known productions being but not limited to:
The Hellsqueal Trilogy ( a comedy about the life and downfall of former Warchief Garrosh Hellscream )
Beautiful Beast ( a WoW-ified take on the classic story of Beauty and the Beast. Sorry, Karazhan fans! No talking dinnerware in this one!)
The Tale of Zombirella ( a tale of a young Forsaken woman seeking her true love by seeing where the missing appendage fits. No, not that one, dirty mind! )
Days of our Elves ( a spoof of over the top roleplaying tropes mixed with over the top soap opera storylines!)
How Garrosh Swindled Winter’s Veil ( Yes, it is exactly what you think it is )
It’s A Wonderful Unlife ( Another holiday-themed parody of the classic story of “It’s A Wonderful Life”, complete with cannibalism! )
Wrap of the Lunch King ( A collection of short Scourge-themed comedy skits ripe for abuse around Hallow’s End! )
Tales From The Burning Region ( It’s like Wrap of the Lunch King, but for demons! )
Cooking With Tyrants ( Garrosh hosts a cooking show with various guests, what could go wrong? )
The Altruist ( A precautionary tale about being generous to those who would take everything you have and are )
Waiting For Gul’dan ( A story about immense boredom between expansions, contextualized in-character, of course)
And much, much more! These are just some of the larger plays we’ve done in the past. Our archives consist of dozens of shorter performances, and we’ve even done a few one-offs here and there! In addition to plays, however, we also do other forms of entertainment! Fashion contests (transmog tournaments, as we call them), Comedy Clubs, and parties galore! We’re always looking for new ways to engage and entertain with the people of Wyrmrest Accord, as well as those from other servers who desire to phase in for our events and see what it’s all about.
In addition to our major productions, we perform smaller plays as well as part of our ‘street performances’, which are usually promotional towards our major productions or other events. There really is no ceiling to what we do, and odds are, if we think an idea sounds entertaining and fun, we’ll probably do something with it.
