Orlando, FL – Valencia College Theater will present “She Kills Monsters,” an acclaimed dramatic comedy in which a character learns more about her late sister by playing Dungeons & Dragons – and battling some of her sister’s demons.
The play opens on Feb. 16 and will run for seven performances in Valencia College’s Black Box Theater.
Written by playwright Qui Nguyen, “She Kills Monsters” tells the story of Agnes Evans, an average woman who loses her parents and little sister Tilly in a car accident. Having been distant from her sister while she was alive, Agnes embarks on an adventure to get to know her sister better by playing a Dungeons & Dragons module that Tilly had written, and discovers things she’d never imagined, including Tilly’s exploration with her sexuality.
This high-energy, action-packed comedy features dragons, faeries, goblins and hordes of fantasy creatures who cannot stand in the way as young Agnes takes her hero’s journey towards the sister she never really knew, and her own inner warrior.
Valencia’s Black Box Theater is located in Building 3 on Valencia’s East Campus, 701 N. Econlockhatchee Trail, Orlando.
