You can't just wait for the adventure of a lifetime to come to your door. You have to go out into the world and find it! If you're tired of waiting, Adventurer's Apprentice is a 3-day intensive that combines RPG (role-playing game) game play and adventure storytelling with theatre and design. Your original character will join a cast of players for the quest of a lifetime. Along the journey, you will be tutored by seasoned adventurers and artisans in:

• storytelling

• prop making

• costume design

• creature creation

• mapmaking and world building

• movement and safe stage combat.

Since this is only a 3-day camp, there is no final performance, but each participant will create a Chronicle of their adventures.
