Description
Torchlight flickers. Tankards clink. Somewhere in Phoenix Theater, a tavern door creaks open and a quest begins. The Dungeon Cocktail Experience (DCX) is a nat-20 blend of improv comedy, fantasy roleplay, and expertly crafted cocktails. Guided by a mischievous Dungeon Master, a party of sharp-tongued adventurers, and a musical bard who never misses a cue, you’ll embark on a brand-new D&D-inspired story every night. As the plot twists and monsters emerge, you’ll sip three themed cocktails designed to match the magic unfolding before you. No character sheets, no rules lawyering — just laughter, roleplay, and audience-driven mayhem. Every show is one-of-a-kind, every outcome uncertain. Get your tickets now!

WORKSHOP: Bring Your Role-Playing and Cosplay Characters to Life
Step beyond the tavern doors and into the art of true character creation in “Bring Your Role-Playing Characters to Life” — a 90-minute, hands-on workshop led by the cast and Dungeon Master of The Dungeon Cocktail Experience! Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or new to role-playing, you’ll dive deep into building backstories, voices, and personalities that feel real enough to walk off the page. Through improv, improv storytelling games, and insider tips from professional improv performers, you’ll learn how to inhabit your NPCs, heroes and villains with confidence and flair. Cap it all off with some DCX swag and carry your newly forged persona straight into that night’s show — because tonight, the story begins with you. Please note: the workshop schedule is: Fridays at 3:30pm (for those who buy Friday tickets) and Saturdays at 1:00pm (for those who buy Saturday tickets).
