AUDITIONS October 4 & 5
Joan
Loosely based on George Bernard Shaw’s play St. Joan but adapted for MYT students and stage.
The quest is not going well for five friends. In spite of the endless supply of Mountain Dew and Twizzlers, they have not been able to complete their quest. Going into their 24th hour of continual play, this game of Dungeons & Dragons is turning friend against friend. Until the Dungeon Master does the unthinkable: He invites a new player into the game. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE QUEST! Joan may be new to the group but she has played before. Can she help the friends finish their campaign? Will they let her?
The war has not been going well for the five warriors. In spite of their collective skills, spells and armies, they have not been able to defeat the King of the Damned and his evil army. The new warrior Archiah may just be what they need to turn the tide of the war. Archiah is courageous and unrelenting with a megadose of self confidence. Can she inspire the warriors to fight on under her banner? Or will a traitor rise up to defeat her?
Follow Joan and Archiah — in and out of the game — to see what lengths people go to hold on to power.
