"Broken Fantasy" opens with fifteen teens beginning their own fantasy DnD game and evolves into a journey they will never forget. Exploring the themes of growing up through the lens of a fantasy world filled with elves, bards, magic, and monsters, these teens find they have to let something go to continue their own personal growth. Will their final role lead them to victory? Is their next step filled with fear or hope? Fantasy and reality blend in this fantastical devised piece written and performed by the 2022 PCS Summer Teen Academy.
In a land of mystery, at a time of change
A hopeful dice roll makes all seem strange
Five groups of three on a sudden quest
Their ultimate goal they have not yet guessed
Growing up presents us with tests and trials
Challenging us to confront our denials
Beasts and Magic, bards and elves
Fantasy evoked to explore ourselves
A beckoning call from a misty cliff
What is reality? and what is a myth?
