About the Show

Jaimie, Max, Spencer, Kelly, and Steve are your average tabletop adventurers—until they decide to “branch out” and play a mysterious role-playing game called Guilds of Manzoa. Suddenly, they find themselves transported into a fantasy realm where three elder dragons—masquerading as billionaire moguls in the real world—hoard wealth and power across both dimensions. To save humanity, the group must join forces and slay the dragons before it’s too late.

Written by Portland artists, Guilds of Manzoa is a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek musical packed with fantasy tropes, meta humor, and nerdy charm. The show blends campy Broadway sensibility with metal riffs and comedic bite, offering a score that spans power metal, heavy rock, and rap-rock, all with the irreverence of The Book of Mormon, Spamalot, and Tenacious D.

Rated PG-13 for adult language and humor. Recommended for ages 7 and up.
