The American Girls Premiere is an educational computer game developed and published by The Learning Company for American Girl. The game allows players to create theatrical productions featuring characters starring the then available Historical Characters along with scenes and other elements unique to each of the girls' respective time periods.
Built upon the earlier MECC game Opening Night, The American Girls Premiere allows the creation and direction of unique stage plays starring the then-available Historical Characters (Felicity Merriman, Kirsten Larson, Addy Walker, Samantha Parkington, and Molly McIntire) alongside supporting characters from each of the girls' story arcs.
Players are presented with a stage to which plays are created or presented, utilizing a drag-and-drop interface to add actors, props, lighting and other elements to the scene. Digitized sprites taken from live actors and props from American Girl's historical collection are used throughout the game.
Each of the characters have their own set of outfits based on the historical era their stories take place in, e.g. long gowns and petticoats for Felicity or argyle sweaters and blouses for Molly, along with scenarios from their respective time period. Players can also add dialogue in their productions, either through a voice recording, or using the built-in text-to-speech feature. The game develops skills in storytelling and writing, and is open-ended in nature, allowing the player to create theatrical productions at his or her own leisure, though the limited selection of characters, props and settings may present creative constraints to some players.
In addition to the main content, bonus content such as a tutorial application and a sampler called the Director's Guide is included for players to get acquainted with the game's mechanics and user interface, along with a behind-the-scenes look on production as well as historical facts and commentary on American history and culture, and backstories for each of the characters.
One major disadvantage of the program was that the files made with it are only saved states rather than video files, necessitating the need for a screen recorder such as OBS in order to make the play fit for viewing outside the game.
A "Special Edition Collector's Set" of the title was double the price. In addition to the CD-ROM, it came with a keepsake tin, a one-year American Girl Club membership, a club handbook, a membership card, a baseball cap and six bi-monthly issues of the club newspaper.
An update to the game subtitled Second Edition was released in 1998 adding Josefina Montoya to the roster. This is a standalone expansion pack containing characters and scenes from the first release, and does not require a copy of the original game to play. The aforementioned Collector's Set was later updated to include the Josefina-specific content from the Second Edition, though it did not include the American Girls Club membership kit.
