Description

The Reality Shaper is a D&D-inspired fantasy musical in audio drama form, featuring epic adventure, a queer enemies-to-lovers arc, and more than 50 original songs. The cast includes Broadway alums such as Christian Thompson, Andrew Montgomery Coleman, and Maria Wirries. Since launching during Pride Month, it has received a number of festival honors, most recently winning Best of the Best, Outstanding Fantasy, and Best Original Song at NJ WebFest. One ordinary night in the Horseshoe Tavern, the bard goes off-script to entertain some drunkards with an epic tale - music, mystery, missing children, and one hero's quest to save his beautiful city. One ordinary night in the Horseshoe Tavern, the bard goes off-script to entertain some drunkards with an epic tale - music, mystery, missing children, and one hero's quest to save his beautiful city. Boris Dragonheart knows exactly what he's meant to do with his life: follow in his father's footsteps, climb the ranks of the Cedrelian Royal Guard, and devote himself to the service of his beloved city. But when the robbery of a wealthy elven couple takes a disturbing turn, Boris begins to uncover something dark lurking beneath the surface of Cedrela. The more suspicious he grows of the Guard's involvement, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. Unsure who to trust, Boris forges an uneasy alliance with the very thief he was originally dispatched to arrest – a chaotic elf of indiscriminate gender and even less discriminate morality. Season 1 out now!
