RMTG Hosts Immersive D&D Gaming Event
11/9/2018
Riverdale, N.Y. – The College’s in-residency theater company Red Monkey Theater Group (RMTG) presents their latest endeavor: Dungeons & Monkeys—and this time, they’re inviting the community to join them on stage to partake in the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) in Cahill Theater.
The D&D gaming event, held November 10 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., invites the public to battle the forces of evil alongside RMTG’s cast and crew.
Dungeons & Monkeys offers two afternoon sessions in which the public can participate in the world-famous board game, all while supporting a good cause. Half of the proceeds will benefit the College’s Midnight Run, an organization through which volunteers travel to midtown Manhattan to hand out food and clothing while engaging in conversation with the homeless.
“Dungeons & Monkeys is an experiment in collaborative theatrical storytelling,” said Red Monkey Theater Group Artistic Director Tal Aviezer. “We’re inviting the public to join us for one day in creating stories together with us, having fun, slaying dragons, and supporting a great cause.”
Audience members can join in for a single session or stay all day—and those new to the game can learn how to play from RTMG members. The event culminates with a free performance starting at 8:15 p.m., in which RTMG actors will participate in an adventure complete with music and sound effects created by the theater group’s design team.
