Charleston’s Absent Friends and AtomaCon present “THE PRINCESS BRIDE,” a magical, live shadow cast experience for fans of all ages! Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of this beloved film as our cast brings it to life right before your eyes. You’ll join the timeless tale of true love and adventure as you cheer for your favorite characters, boo the villains, and recite iconic lines along with the cast. With stunning costumes, live acting, and a dash of audience participation, this event promises to be an unforgettable night.
This is our final showing of The Princess Bride for 2025 and will be at this year’s AtomaCon (May 3-4, 2025). The screening will be held on day one of the con, Saturday, May 3, at 5:00 PM.
To see The Princess Bride, attendees must buy, at minimum, a single day AtomaCon ticket for Saturday, May 3, as this is when the screening takes place. These are only $20.
However, CAF highly recommends getting an entire weekend of con fun for only $10 more (a weekend ticket)! That’s right, come hang out with us ALL weekend for only $30 total. In addition to Princess Bride, CAF cast/crew will have a vendor table, be featured in select panels, host cosplay fun, trivia, and more! We can’t wait to hang with everyone.
Both single day (the minimum required for a seat at Princess Bride) and weekend tickets can be purchased here: http://www.atomacon.org/attend.html
What is a shadow cast? A group of actors who perform a certain film live, while the same film plays in the background. This way, you can watch us or the Hollywood stars we all love so dearly! The acting occurs in front of the movie, with screen-accurate costumes, props, and set pieces. Where we are different from traditional theater is that we are interactive with our audience! We will have audience prop bags for sale, which allow you to interact with the film. We encourage “callbacks” or “callouts,” which are where the cast, crew, and/or audience shout new lines and funny bits that match along with the movie. We will also do many scenes in the middle aisle of the audience.
Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relive the magic of The Princess Bride in a whole new way. Grab your friends, family, or that special someone and join us for an evening filled with laughter, romance, and thrilling adventure! We look forward to spending the night with you and yours!
This is a family-friendly event and safe space for all.
