Dungeons & Dragons live show adds Jack Lepiarz for Dallas run

The touring immersive theatrical production DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: The Twenty-Sided Tavern continued its national run in January 2026, and organizers announced that famed performer Jack Lepiarz, known in the community as Jacques Ze Whipper, will join the Dallas engagement from January 20 to February 1, 2026. The addition reinforces the production’s blend of stagecraft and tabletop roleplaying energy and gives local audiences a high-profile guest during the residency.

The Twenty-Sided Tavern stages live, D&D-style scenes in which the audience participates through voting-driven choices, turning each performance into a branching session rather than a fixed script. That interactive structure has made the show a touchstone for players who want to see roleplaying tropes animated onstage and for theatre-goers curious about tabletop culture. Theatre materials and the AT&T Performing Arts Center list ticketing and schedule details for the Dallas residency, which is one stop on a string of U.S. engagements.

Lepiarz’s involvement brings crossover appeal. Known to many players and streaming audiences as Jacques Ze Whipper, he has roots in live performance and online roleplaying spaces, and his presence is likely to draw both established fans and newcomers eager to see a familiar personality take the stage. For the local tabletop community, a guest star like Lepiarz can turn a night at the theatre into an event-level session, encouraging groups to book tickets together and treating the performance like a live one-shot.

For players and DMs thinking about attending: expect audience-driven scenes where collective choices shape the narrative, not a passive musical or play. That makes timing and group dynamics important, shows can feel more like a session at a convention table than a traditional evening at the theatre. Check the venue’s schedule and ticketing pages for showtimes and availability, and factor in that special guest dates may sell faster.

The production’s continued touring run also highlights a larger trend: live immersive theatre is increasingly borrowing mechanics and language from tabletop gaming, and the tabletop community is embracing theatrical forms that reward improvisation and crowd input. That cross-pollination is widening the ways people experience Dungeons & Dragons beyond the tabletop.

The takeaway? If you want to see roleplaying logic scaled up for the stage, grab tickets early for the Dallas dates while Lepiarz is on the bill. Treat it like a session with an audience, bring friends, be ready to participate, and roll initiative for a night that mixes theatre with the chaos of a good D&D table.
