Theme Players

Share your imagination and add to the con’s immersion as one of our themed cosplayers. You’ll bring to life one of this year’s characters in both look and acting.

This year’s theme Gateway to the Galaxy is all about space and launching into the stars. This group enjoys the unique opportunity to creatively lean into an annualized theme, interact with the entirety of Soonercon’s audience, and collaborate ahead of and during the big event.

Preference is given for established cosplayers with acting abilities.
