The Legend of You
Friday November 7th, 8pm
Hailing from the distant realm of NYC, The Legend of You makes its Philadelphia debut this November!
Musical improv meets swords & sorcery meets your latest therapy session in this personalized improvised adventure!
Each performance begins with an audience member sharing a problem they’re experiencing. Then, we spin that problem into an improvised fantasy adventure of epic proportions, including original songs, bespoke monsters, and the luck of the dice!
Featuring a cast of seasoned improvisers and TTRPG experts, The Legend Of You makes monsters out of molehills and turns a regular audience member into an epic hero. You'll laugh, you'll cheer, you'll boo (the villain), and you may even learn something about yourself.
