RPG - A new musical by Steve Barnes Public · By Steve Barnes

Before video games outgrew their infancy, young people worldwide saw their potential as vehicles for storytelling, thought, and imagination. Meanwhile, adults dismissed them as "bleeps and bloops," or cautioned that they would "rot your brain" or cause "addiction."

"RPG" recalls that time by celebrating one of gaming's most beloved genres, seamlessly mixing onstage action with digital music and visual effects.

Gaming veterans will recognize affectionate nods to legendary developers of the 16-bit… Show more era, and those on the sidelines are invited to enter the imagination of an introverted freshman playing for the first time.
A quartet of outstanding Bellingham High School seniors performs this tribute to the unsung power of video games to inspire.
Starring Abrah Friberg, Kaleb Van Rijswijck, Brad Anderson and Candice Lundy.
Four shows: 7 p.m. Jan. 17-19; 2 p.m. Jan. 20. Details: rpg-musical.com.
