"She Kills Monsters" Play Seeks Teens
Seeking teens for "She Kills Monsters" play. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: She Kills Monsters 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 finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge.
