onStage Pittsburgh: As theaters began to reopen last year, CLO presented the Kara Spotlight Series at the Greer in November and December, showcasing individual Pittsburgh-based musical theater artists. The Twenty-Sided Tavern marks CLO’s first full production in the Cultural District since The Book of Merman closed on March 8, 2020.

This is so exciting! I had seen a blurb about the show on our own Drama newsletter, but I hadn't realized that it was the CLO's first show back since COVID. I was considering going, but now I think that I have to check it out. It seems like they've really thought through it as a well-rounded experience, complete with food, drink, and audience interaction. I also think that it was a strong choice to cast improvisers in the show given how much it'll change, and even how heavily DnD itself relies on improv and random chance. I'm also interested in the physical tech of the production. In this article, they didn't go very much detail about the production design itself. Yes, we move from location to location and use our phones to vote, but how will they do this? Is there a finite number of sets that they've built that we'll choose from? Or, is it a more minimalist setup where actors wear costumes and we're invited to imagine them in a new space? I'm curious to find out, and excited to see what this show has in store.
