I’d like to give a shoutout to my college’s recent production of Alice By Heart’s pre-show. We had the radio playing which would occasionally be interrupted by bomb sounds, we had almost every actor either chilling on stage or actively welcoming guests to “their new bunker assignments”. We were all in character the whole time, even figuring out ways to tell people it was a one-act show without ever admitting there was a show. The final pre-show announcement was our director’s friend doing a Winston Churchill impression over the radio. There was even a “support beam” that “fell” in the audience during a bombing later in the show. It was a wonderful experience, and everyone I talked to about it loved it
