Interview: of SHE KILLS THE MONSTERS at Black Dirt Theater
This production runs March 24th through April 1st
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. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
We chat with cast member Kate Munce who plays Agnes Evans about this produciton.
What is your favorite moment in the show?
I should say something like "the moments where Agnes learns to lean on her loved ones" but that would be a lie. My favorite moment in the show is Adventurer Steve meeting the Gelatinous Cube.
What do you hope the audience takes away from seeing this production?
I hope the audience lets themselves spend some time in the land of make believe and return with empathy, kindness, and an unyielding desire to fight a dragon.
What is your favorite local spots?
I have spent many a paycheck at Riverside Treasures!
Thank you Kate for your time!

Review: MY FAIR LADY at Ordway Center For The Performing ArtsMarch 23, 2023
What did our critic think of MY FAIR LADY at Ordway Center For The Performing Arts? Boasting classic songs like 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'On the Street Where You Live,' My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a 'proper lady.' But, in this new staging of the show, brilliantly directed by Bartlett Sher, you might ask yourself who is really being transformed?
