Written by Matthew Byrd, Kathryn Funkhouser, Patrick Greene, Mora V. Harris, Elissa C. Huang, Carrie McCrossen, Jason Pizzarello

It’s the fantasy quest of a lifetime…and everyone‘s got an excuse to get out of it. When all the mighty Heroes of Legend are trapped under an evil spell, lesser-known heroes from warriors to wizards are gathered to go save the day. One problem: everyone has a tale to tell about why they can’t go on a quest just now. Are the Enchanted Lands doomed?

No reservations are required, admission is by donation, which are greatly appreciated, feel free to bring a lawn chair and sit out on the lawn
