About 4D6 Life the Play

In a world of trolls & gnomes, a paladin never really knows if they’re going to storm the castle or trip over their own feet. They are supposed to crusade in the name of good and order. But what happens when what you are supposed to do goes against what you feel is right? Where lawful good and chaotic evil meet sometimes you just have to decide when to roll the dice and when to just act.

4D6 Life is a play about expectations, diversity, fortitude, and life choices. It is a world where character traits are determined by a roll of a dice and pre-written prejudices.

"Puppets can say things that humans can't say."

4D6 Life is a 4 person play. However, it's also a world of tentacle carrion crawlers, vorpal bunnies, dragons, and sorcerers. All monsters and Non Player Characters (NPC) will be done with puppets.

The creators, designers, and puppeteers of 4D6 Life will be traveling to the Puppet School in New York in April to learn how to design, construct, and perform with the puppets. 

The Puppet School is one of the premiere puppet training schools. For many working with 4D6 Life, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a dream come true.

The total cost of the workshop, travel expenses and puppets is $2,000. Any extra money raised will go towards production costs and travel costs to the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

The Story of Construction and Hollywood Fringe Festival

4D6 Life is being work-shopped in Cleveland, OH with performance dates in May and June. The entire production will also be traveling to California for the Hollywood 2015 Fringe Festival.

The entire process from auditions to performance will be recorded and shared with contributors and supporters. This will be a fun perk for all of our supporters.
