Description

Each episode of inCharacter features ordinary people in stand-alone stories of extraordinary proportions. All characters are played by actors... except for one. The protagonist. “A Regular Joe Schmo” who has knowingly been selected to improvise their role in a life not their own. By experiencing the world as a fictional reality, the Participant can transform their real life reality with a new sense of empathy, understanding, and self-awareness. The willing Participants play protagonists of each episode’s story. Their unique choices, engagement, and character relationships propel the narrative to a final, dramatic choice. In Episode 1 – The Birthday, we follow four completely different participants as they individually meet their “father” for his birthday, and he has some upsetting news to share. Each participant must then make a serious choice... their own dreams or their family. Which will each choose? And how will this fictional choice affect their real lives?
