MAGIC: THE GATHERING: THE SHOW IS AN IMPROVISED PARODY TRIBUTE TO THE ICONIC NERDCORE CARD GAME, MAGIC: THE GATHERING. THE SHOW PREMIERED AT THE 2011 GEEK WEEK COMEDY FESTIVAL, AND HAD A MUCH ACCLAIMED FEATURE RUN AT IMPROVBOSTON IN 2014. THE SHOW HAS BEEN IN RESIDENCE AT THE RIOT THEATER SINCE NOVEMBER 2014.
YOU ARE A WITNESS TO ONE OF THE GREATEST CONFLICTS EVER SEEN. TWO WIZARDS ARE BENT ON DESTROYING EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF AN ANCIENT GRUDGE—PERHAPS AN EMAIL FLAME WAR? THEY ENLIST CREATURES OF GOOD—ANGELS, ELVES, PASSERS-BY—AND CREATURES OF EVIL—GOBLINS, TROLLS, TAX COLLECTORS—AND BATTLE ONE ANOTHER IN A WINNER-TAKES-ALL DUEL. THE WIZARDS CALL ON ELEMENTS OF FIRE, WATER, EARTH, AND AIR, DRAWING LETHAL POWER FROM ALL AROUND THEM, AND FROM LITTLE CARDBOARD CARDS! AND BEHOLD! COMEDY GOLD! WATCH AND HELP SHAPE THE ACTION WITH YOUR OWN CARDS AS TWO WIZARDS AND A TEAM OF MISFIT FANTASY JUNKIES IMPROVISE A COMEDY BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY OF THE STAGE!
