After high school cheerleader, Agnes, comes across the elaborate Dungeons & Dragons notebook of her dead sister, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an all out campaign — joining with mages and elves to clash with slothful ogres, killer fairies, and teenage succubi on a journey to discover the secret life of the sibling she lost. 

The emotionally-driven and highly comedic SHE KILLS MONSTERS was one of the most produced plays of the last five years. When the pandemic hit, author Qui Nyguen (VIETGONE,  RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON) reimagined his popular script, placing it a VIRTUAL REALM with exciting opportunities to create fantastical character masks and costuming through new media and digital filters. 

“Ingenious” - says Eric Grode, NYT
