Morphicon 2010 Programming Schedule

  • What programming should I expect at Morphicon 2010? Along with the usual Masquerade and Furry Variety Show, in past years programming at Morphicon has included Special Interest Groups (SIGs) discussions focused on specific critters, panels on furry spirituality, gaming, dances, a movie room, writing and drawing workshops, puppetry, tail making workshops, adult programming... all kinds of furry related topics and discussions that are of interest to our membership.

  • I have a great idea for a panel! How do I contact you? Please shoot us an email at: Programming_AT_Morphicon. Even if you don't want to run the panel yourself, we're interested in hearing about ideas and suggestions on what you want to see in this year's programming.

  • What if I want to run a panel? Great! Please send us an email at: Programming_AT_Morphicon with a description of the panel you want to run, and which day(s)/time(s) you would be available to run the panel.

    Note that running a panel gets you double volunteer hours for the time actually spent running the panel!


Check back for updates each week!

You will be given a brief run-down on the order of appearance and a time allotment for each routine. In case your comedy act begins to exceed the time limit, you will be given a two-minute signal backstage from our stage hand. The entire idea is to have fun on either count, so hit us with your funniest stories, skits, celebrity impersonations, puppet acts, whatever you wish to bring to the stage.
