A great first run of performing this show. We were told that this show is in its workshopping phase- and I think this is a great foundation for that phase. A really creative way to tell this type of story. Catchy songs, relatable characters, and some fun inside jokes thrown in for the DnD fanbase. ...

Tabletop was a fun, fresh and exciting adventure into the world of role-playing games and the players who play them. The story follows the critical successes and sometimes failures of a long-term RPG gaming group, weaving the fantasy world of Vaelrun with the real-life struggles that each of the characters faced. It spotlights the dangers and delights that an immersive campaign can offer players both in game and out. It shows the audience a place where relationships, strategy, teamwork, dedication and imagination all collide to find balance and meaning. As we navigate through the tabletop campaign, we encounter all the highs and lows of life itself: from sorrow, loss, laughter, triumph, love and everything in between. ...
