Prepare to hear and tell stories. This is not a grief support or counselling session. The facilitator for this Death Café is Jacqueline Gignac.

It’s 1995 in Athens, Ohio, and young woman named Agnes Evans is grieving the death of her younger sister Tilly. Upon discovering her sister was an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, Agnes uses one of Tilly’s D&D notebooks to bring her late sister’s fantasies to life, learning more than she expected in the process. The show is a high-energy, campy adventure with comic heroes and cartoonish monsters, all thinly veiled projections of the high schoolers Tilly loved and despised in her short life.
“She Kills Monsters” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
She Kills Monsters features mature language and sexual references. It is not recommended for young children.
The running time is approximately 2 hours including a 15 minute intermission.
$10 Adults
$8 Students/Seniors
