Our music director, John Caputo, was asked if he had ever wanted to mix two of his passions in life – music and table top gaming – together. This performance showcases John’s talents as a leader in both musical endeavors and being a dungeon master for Dungeon and Dragons sessions. He takes you on a story telling journey using the musical numbers the band plays as prompts and plot points. We had a wonderfully fun time watching this legend unfold in real time and join the characters in their saga.
