Brandon and Andi Lindsey met through the theatre program at Texas State University. It wouldn't be until a few years later that they would grow to become best friends via a regular game of Dungeons and Dragons. Through long-distance friendships and a constant exchange of ideas they began to develop the groundwork for what would eventually become Druid & Bard. Taking inspiration from their own characters, the very name of the company reflected their hopes of inspiring wonder, fantasy, and a sense of play within each production.
