About this event

Set in Athens, Ohio in the mid 90’s, She Kills Monsters tells the story of two sisters from very different worlds and an unexpected game that unites them. While Agnes is an average teen desperate to fit into the mainstream, her younger sibling Tilly is obsessed with magic and all things Dungeons & Dragons.

After Tilly’s unexpected death, Agnes finds her sister’s hommade Dungeons & Dragons module and becomes catapulted into the imaginary realm that was her sister’s refuge. In the hopes of forging a connection with the sibling she never really had a chance to understand, Agnes enlists the help of Tilly’s high school D&D network to play out her final campaign.

Toggling between fantasy, and memory, comedy and drama, acclaimed playwright, director and screenwriter, Qui Nguyen (Vietgone, Poor Yellow Rednecks) brings us on an epic quest of discovery, belonging and finding your chosen family.

Directed by faculty member and Simon’s Rock alum Sara Katzoff, this production brings together a company of over 30 theater makers including students, faculty, staff and guest artists working across disciplines of design, technical theater and performance. Filled with gremlins, sword fights, demon queens and dark elves, She Kills Monsters is an offbeat adventure that awakens the inner geek warrior in us all.
