Backyard Theater Ensemble and Monarch Theatrical Present SHE KILLS MONSTERS: VIRTUAL REALMS

Backyard Theater Ensemble and Monarch Theatrical will present She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms by Qui Nguyen.

Despite this unprecedented pandemic era, theatrical artists around the world continue producing great works for audiences to enjoy and learn from. We believe that the arts, and in particular, theater, provide many things in times of hardship: a platform, a creative outlet, or maybe simply, an escape. So here we are, in uncharted territory, producing She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms, trying to provide that same outlet for our actors and audience. In this union of theater and film, our actors' performances are live streamed from across the country and digitally blended into a unique online experience.

She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans 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 piece laden with homicidal fairies, nasty succubi, and pop culture references galore, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
