A show with high charisma. Watch a live-play Dungeons & Dragons show with dice-rolling and improvised storytelling! Costumed improvisers role-play as recurring characters in a unique story prepared by the Dungeon Master. Audience participation (and a giant D20 dice) helps determine the fate of our bumbling heroes.

Bull for Initiative: A Live Play D&D Show is an interactive comedy performance where improvisers role-play a fantasy campaign guided by a Dungeon Master and audience suggestions. Located at the Mettlesome Theater in Durham, this evening show is best suited for parents with teens who understand the basics of tabletop gaming. Because the show relies on live improvisation, the humor is unpredictable and geared toward an older crowd rather than young children. Street parking is available around the venue, and you can grab a drink at the theater's bar before finding your seats. It makes a great weekend pick if you want to swap the standard movie night for live local theater that does not take itself too seriously.
