When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. The show runs April 20th-22nd at 7:30pm in the Little Theatre. Tickets are $8 and available at the door or online. We hope to see you there!
