Summit Theatre Company invites audiences on an unforgettable quest with She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition, the acclaimed dramatic comedy by playwright Qui Nguyen. When high schooler Agnes Evans discovers her late sister Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself drawn into a world of vicious fairies, elven villains, and ’90s nostalgia, and a journey toward understanding the sister she never truly knew.
Equal parts action and heart, She Kills Monsters weaves together themes of grief, LGBTQ+ identity, bullying, and the power of imagination into a story that is as funny as it is moving. Qui Nguyen’s high-octane homage to geek culture and the warrior within has resonated with audiences across the country, and Summit Theatre’s student performers bring that same spirit home to Bend.
Please note: this production includes stylized combat, strong language, and emotional scenes surrounding the death of a teenage sibling, and is best suited for audiences aged 13 and older.
