Would you attend in-game performances?

The title says it pretty succinctly; the poll allows multiple responses, so please let me know specifically what you think and why, there or in the comments!

I'm a teacher (American highschool, English and Video Game Design) and a writer (amateur in fiction, professionally in tabletop RPGs), and my friends and I have always been on the creative side. We used to run Diablo II speed-runs for people while someone lectured on academic topics in the chat (Loot & Learn), and we tried to organize performances of plays in-game in WoW, using emotes and character abilities and duels as special effects.

Sadly, we never got very far with the performances, but I'm interested in giving it another try.

Would anyone here be interested in attending in-game performances of any kind? If enough people say yes, I might be able to use that as leverage to rope in more of my co-conspirators :-)

I would be interested in:

1. Putting on scenes from plays (Tamriel-friendly adaptations of real ones, or original plays)

2. Running in game mysteries (probably with a support structure ala forum posts with details, clues, summaries, etc) that players can solve. This would be a little like an Alternate Reality Game (ARG), if you're familiar.

3. Implementing player-run "Quests" (You know, have a PC called Mysterious Old Dude With Funny Hat who stands around yelling for help....or, y'know, something more serious) with a series of objectives and rewards.

4. Making a 'retired adventurer' character who spouts off at length on lore-related things, either like the loud guy in a tavern or like a professor. Maybe they could even lead in-game safaris?

5. Having an in-game academic type lecture on real-world academics of some sort.

6.... or anything similar!

The posting of this poll is not a guarantee of anything, but I thought it worth asking, since TES has a large lore-oriented fanbase and I love it :-)

Thanks for reading,

I'm a bit confused, are these real life plays or in game events?
