Thank you to the 200+ adventurers who joined us for our inaugural weekend at SideQuest! 🧭✨

Thanks to your suggestions, our heroes ""saved"" kids stuck in a well, faced gnomish middle-managers, and uncovered the secrets of some shockingly sexy ancient ruins.

Join us this upcoming weekend for our Warlock show on Friday, and our Druid show (with PUPPETS!) on Sunday!

🌿 Introducing: The Druid Puppeteers of Roll Play!

When it came to adapting everyone's favorite animal shapeshifter to the stage, the most exciting way to do so was clear: PUPPETS! In classic Roll Play fashion, the Druid never *chooses* which animal to shift into, of course– that's decided at random.

To make this wild idea a reality, we've gathered over a dozen animal puppets AND received professional training from the puppetmaster extraordinaire himself, Joe Sabatino! (Who also BUILT these incredible puppets!)

Thank you, Joe!!!

✨ Come see the debuts of Kelsey's Druid on Sunday Nov 5th, and Jake's Druid on Sunday Nov 12th! ✨
