Sci-fi fans, gamers, and theatregoers alike are invited to step into an interactive interstellar universe next month when Heroes of The Forge comes to Bairnsdale’s Forge Theatre on Saturday, August 15.
The unique live production transforms a tabletop Dungeons & Dragons session into a fully performed stage spectacle — complete with actors, props, immersive lighting and an original space-opera storyline.
Set in a remote mining system, the narrative follows a high-stakes heist where a crew hired by a mysterious patron attempts to infiltrate a security transfer station and steal a shipment of experimental Solarium crystals before rival factions intervene.
Unlike traditional theatre, audience participation is central to the performance.
Attending theatergoers will have direct opportunities to shout commands, roll oversized dice and influence crucial story decisions that alter the fate of the characters on stage.
Organisers stress that no prior D&D or tabletop gaming experience is necessary to enjoy the show, making it equally accessible to curious newcomers and veteran roleplaying enthusiasts.
Due to thematic elements and sci-fi action, the production is recommended for audience members aged 15 and over.
