A New Interactive Dungeons and Dragons Adventure

As a part of the celebrations, the producers introduce a brand new and captivating show that just might feature mysterious dungeons, mythical dragons. This adventure is an unparalleled experience for the audience.

At DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern, the audience will have the opportunity to contribute as a “fourth player,” influencing key decisions via Gamiotics. This mechanic is a browser-based software that allows you to vote on where the story will go. This includes what characters appear, what experiences they explore, and more.

Called “A sure-fire hit,” by the British Comedy Guide, and declared “fantastic fun… utterly excellent” by Broadway World:

“With a cast of five actors and over 30 playable characters, audiences will experience an expansive fantasy world set in the Forgotten Realms, and face riddles, puzzles, combat, and more, to help shape the story. Laughter will flow like ale and with the audience in full control and exciting reveals around every corner, no two shows are alike! For those seeking a more daring experience, there are opportunities to join the action onstage and test your strength (or dexterity, or wisdom, or charisma) through a variety of rollicking games, including trivia, charades, and the ever-popular Fantasy Beer Pong.”

Featuring behind-the-scenes talent from popular theatrical shows such as Dimension 20, Marvel’s Rogers: The Musical, Beavis and Butthead and more, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern is the game you know and the experience you’ll love but bigger and better than ever.

Producers include: David Carpenter (Slava’s SnowShow, PUFFS), Sarah Davis Reynolds, and David Andrew Laws of Curious Hedgehog, along with David Hutchinson and Nathan Brine of Showpath Entertainment (MONOPOLY Lifesized, The Paddington Bear Experience, The SpongeBob Musical)
