Darkness covers the land, the people fear for their lives, hope is all but gone. There is one thing the people cling to: a legend. A legend of a great hero who will rise up and vanquish the darkness. A hero who will be remembered forever in as the savior of our world. That hero, is you! The Saga of the Shining Emblem is a one-of-a-kind improvised story-telling experience. Each night, one audience member is selected to be the hero of that nights story. They are guided through a fantastical adventure with one actor serving as the narrator, supporting characters, and anything else our hero should encounter. Our intrepid hero has one goal; to seek the Shining Emblem! an object of unimaginable power capable of granting one wish to whomever should find it! How they find it (or if they even bother to quest it at all) is totally up to them! It's like Dungeons & Dragons, only way less dice and way more silly. All accompanied by a live score! Will you return the light to this world? Or join with the darkness? The choice is yours!
