She Kills Monsters - Crescent Heights Drama Society

Qui Nguyen's She Kills Monsters - Young Adventurers Edition performed by students at Crescent Heights High School for semester 1 mainstage.

Director's Note:
Choosing a script based on a game I have never played before was a bold move on my part! But I learned early on that Dungeons and Dragons is really just a big game of theatre! There are character roles, interesting set locations, imaginative and free-flowing storylines, and many weird monsters! Oh, and let's not forget about the wicked cool dice!
But this story is not just about dungeons, dragons, and monsters. It has a beautifully intertwined story about love, in all forms. The story of Agnes and her sister Tilly is a touching part of the wild adventure that make up She Kills Monsters.

This show is based in the 90's, which were my glory days and making this soundtrack was the highlight of my year so far! I hope you love it as much as I do! I also more than enjoyed sharing stories of the 90's with this cast. Tales of fixing cassette tapes with a pencil, getting my very first Sony Walkman, rocking the hackey sack in the back field at lunch time, getting them to use our wicked slang, and of course sharing the love of the amazing music that this decade generated!

I would like to mention here a few amazing tech students who put in countless hours of their time in and out of class to help bring this production together. Kinsley made mostly all of the costumes you will see onstage, as well as drew the module images that you will see projected throughout the show. I certainly cannot tell the future, but I have a feeling this young artist has a very bright one ahead! I have not enough words in the world to thank Kinsley for their time, passion, and talent.
Foster created the beautiful weaponry used by our heroes. Foster is another crazy talented designer and I am so grateful for his work on this show.

Now, tighten your capes, roll the dice, and enjoy the journey of She Kills Monsters.
