She Kills Monsters<br />
Witness the story of Agnes Evans as she<br />
leaves her childhood home in Ohio following<br />
the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When<br />
Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons<br />
notebook, however, she finds herself<br />
catapulted into a journey of discovery and<br />
action-packed adventure in the imaginary<br />
world that was her sister’s refuge. In this<br />
high-octane dramatic comedy laden with<br />
homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop<br />
culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen<br />
offers a heart-pounding homage to the<br />
geek and warrior within us all. This staged<br />
reading is performed by student actors in the<br />
Academy of Creative Theatre.<br />
