AUDITIONS: She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms

August 17, 2020 by Corey Cadigan

DEADLINE 9/8/20

She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, the acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

 

Directed By Christie Reading
