Not much is really known, although as Disciples, we'll try and decipher this great mystery. However, here is an interesting bit from the 'old'(?) Blue Man website :

'The concept of the Blue Man Group emerged out of salon style meetings hosted in 1987 by Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink. Soon the three longtime friends began organizing a series of ‘happenings’ such as "Club Nowhere" and "Funeral for the Eighties," which took place in and around New York’s Central Park. Shortly thereafter, they were appearing in performance spaces in the East Village, such as Dixon Place, Performance Space 122, and the Wooster Group’s Performing Garage.'

What is the Disciples of Blue Man?

On June 8th, 2000, a group of five friends saw the Las Vegas production of Blue Man Group. Of the five, three were amazed by what they saw and heard. They decided that they would do whatever they could to help promote Blue Man Group, if they could not become a part of the troupe itself. Shortly after it was decided that a website would be made to keep Blue Man fans informed of all the latest information as well as become a depository for fan work. In addition, the Disciples decided to post individual web pages with non-Blue Man related content to entertain visitors during slow periods of news.

What is Disciple Players?

We hope that if you have made it this far, you have an open mind.

It has been my experience that most open-minded people like to engage in some form of game playing, from Chess to Quake. Games are a great way to break the ice between strangers as both sides engage in friendly (we hope) competition, and in some cases work together to achieve some common goal. So, we've formed what is commonly referred to as a 'guild' or 'clan' of Blue Man fans. Silly, we know... but all work and no play make Jack a dull Blue Man.
