Hi FWO heltash,
first - you do not have to go on stage if you feel uncomfortable with it. :) There are more events that do not need stage performance. Like the Parade or the Photo Shooting, or just posing with other suiters.
I would suggest you to wear your fursuit when many suiters meet, e.g. for the Fursuit Parade. There you will find many suiters you can talk to and perform / practise with. Learning by doing is the best way for fursuiting.
If you really want to take part in a stage event, there is the Fursuit Gameshow (they will tell you about the games and what do to), or the "Masquerade Fursuit Show" (no contest). There will be a mailing list where people can discuss performances and ideas. A performance can be anything - a sketch, alone or with other suiters, just some dancing or singing along with a song, a short story... whatever you like!

sweet coz i already have around a dozen ideas in mind like doing a few songs (depending if i vocal training at college is good enough) and maybe a dance routine or two.
p.s im sorry about heltash putting down the FWO thing, its just a group we both started at our local laser quest arena and he says he going to try and do something with it at furry cons *grunts*
