Audience members are given a coloured sash with a letter painted on as well as a card, being instructed to not reveal its contents to anyone until the time is right.

“How do I get back up there?”From its opening moments, Nic Sampson: Yellow Power Ranger has quite the fun concept - Sampson, who played the Yellow Mystic Ranger, Chip Thorn, in the fourteen season of Power Rangers, is at a fan convention, preparing for the “Cast Reunion Panel” of the Power Rangers Mystic Force team. For context, Sampson played the Yellow Ranger when he was eighteen and the version of himself he portrays on stage has seemingly been chasing that high he felt ever since.
