Special Announcement from LeakyCon 2012: “A Very Potter Senior Year’ by Team Starkid”

by · Published · Updated

Today, a special announcement was disclosed regarding the upcoming supercon LeakyCon 2012, which is taking place in Chicago, IL from August 9 to 12.

One year ago today Team StarKid presented A Very StarKid Event at LeakyCon 2011. To say it was a highlight for a lot of our conference-goers is like saying that Hufflepuffs are just okay at finding things. At this LeakyCon, they are determined to outdo themselves. We are thrilled to tell you that Team StarKid will present a staged reading of A Very Potter 3D: A Very Potter Senior Year at LeakyCon 2012!

This is the first and only time to see this show and it will include nearly every person who has ever appeared in a StarKid production. The show will feature a book by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden.

“This year Team StarKid celebrated the third anniversary of the release of A Very Potter Musical. At LeakyCon, we’ll celebrate three years of being included in this spectacular fandom by presenting one of the most requested and most rumored about projects amongst our fans. LeakyCon 2012 will host the first and only presentation of A Very Potter 3D: A Very Potter Senior Year, the third installment of our ‘Very Potter’ parody play series. Although time and availability only allow us to do a staged reading, we hope this will be a truly unique performance for both Team StarKid and its fans! We’re treating it as something of a reunion, and with the help of LeakyCon we’ll be including nearly every StarKid actor we’ve ever worked with. We may even ask for fan contributions to the reading, making this a true celebration of everything that’s happened over the last three years. So come join us for AVP3D:AVPSY, and see what happens as Harry enters his senior year at Hogwarts, and struggles to find his purpose in a world that may not need him anymore. It’s going to be a once in a lifetime event presented in stunning 3D. We can’t wait to see you there!”

This event will be part of “A Very StarKid Event II,” and will take place from 12pm to 3pm on Saturday, August 11 (You can find a full updated version of the LeakyCon schedule here). Those with passes to LeakyCon but without a pass to AVSE(II) will be able to watch a live feed in a separate ballroom.

The current list of StarKids involved in the production and confirmed to be in attendance includes: Julia Albain*, Clark Baxtresser, Jaime Lyn Beatty, Tyler Brunsman, Richard Campbell, Britney Coleman, Brant Cox, Darren Criss, Corey Dorris, Elona Finlay, Arielle Goldman, Brian Holden, A.J. Holmes, Matt Lang, Nick Lang, Lauren Lopez, Corey Lubowich, Devin Lytle, Lily Marks, Alle-Faye Monka, Joe Moses, Jim Povolo, Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal, Dylan Saunders, Meredith Stepien, Sango Tajima, and Joe Walker. (*Julia has to miss the actual production but will be at LeakyCon on Thursday and Sunday!)

Many of the staff members from MuggleNet will be in attendance and can’t wait to see all of you. Will you be there to enjoy the convention along with us? Let us know in the comments below.
