Filled with action, comedy and fantasy fiction, 欧美视频 (UCM) Theatre and Dance will present 鈥淪he Kills Monsters鈥� in October in the Highlander Theatre.

 

鈥淪he Kills Monsters鈥� 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鈥檚 Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister鈥檚 refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres and 鈥�90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

鈥溾�楽he Kills Monsters鈥� is so much fun. It鈥檚 funny, action-packed, dramatic and magical,鈥� said Director Aaron Scully, assistant professor of Theatre. 鈥淎lso, it鈥檚 perhaps the most challenging production I have ever directed. Bringing Dungeon and Dragons to life on stage takes a whole lot of talented people who I couldn鈥檛 do this without. The designers, technicians and actors have all been awesome and the magic they have created will wow the audiences that come to enjoy our production.鈥�
