World Under Wonder announces LARP program

World Under Wonder presents its three-part live action role playing (LARP) program.

LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing, a medieval fantasy improvisational theatre game where you dress up as a character and play out a story with others while carrying around foam weapons and cast make believe spells at one another.

At World Under Wonder, our focus is the security and the safety of those involved. Tanu LARP is a role-play-focused LARP with a high emphasis on character building and having the ability to do things you normally might not be able to. Whether you are small but want to be a tank, or you are clumsy but wish to be a rogue, the skill system of Tanu allows players to be whatever they wish they could be. LARP is a great form of escapism and even a cathartic form of therapy. Through victories and defeats within the game world, we learn to cope or deal with the conflicts of our real lives.

Players will take a game like Dungeons and Dragons off the table and play it in real time, with costumes, foam weapons, and make believe spells.

Starting Monday, June 28, there will be three different weekly programs offered, each one focuses on medieval fantasy and a high emphasis on role playing characters or community connections.

There will be our adult program for those 18 and older on Mondays from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; our teen program for those between the ages of 12 and 18 on Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. (parents/guardians can also take part in the youth program and act as a side kick to their youth involved); and our community get together days for all ages on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Cost is $25 a month for taking part in the weekly LARP events, or $10 per event you come to.

Due to COVID-19, all participants are expected to be have been vaccinated and show proof with card. Contact World Under Wonder on Facebook or email us at [email protected] for more information. You can also find our website at worldunderwonder.org.
