BALLADS OF SHOREVANIA
An interactive D&D musical performance
"What if an a cappella ensemble played D&D?"
"Ballads of Shorevania" is a music show that combines live acting, a cappella performances, and a Dungeons & Dragons adventure. Actors and singers bring to life a fantasy story, reading from a play, performing original songs, and embodying dynamic characters. At pivotal points in the story, the audience actively participates by voting on decisions that shape the characters' actions and the direction of the tale. Additionally, audience members may find themselves drawn directly into the narrative, engaging with the characters in lighthearted and spontaneous exchanges.
