1. Wild Fantasy: She Kills Monsters catapults you into the Dungeons & Dragons universe, and honestly, who doesn't want to witness a battle against fire-breathing dragons and sassy gelatinous cubes? You won't find any of this stuff on your average night at the theater.
2. Sisterly Love...and Demons: The play manages to combine heartfelt sisterly emotions with the absurdity of demon-slaying. It's like watching a tearjerker while eating your weight in popcorn at a monster truck rally. Best combination ever? We think so.
3. Nostalgia-Filled Comedy: Expect more pop culture references than you can shake a lightsaber at. From '90s nostalgia to quirky one-liners, this play is a treasure chest of chuckles from an era we all long for. Twin Peaks, anyone?
4. Out-of-This-World Performances: The cast and crew at Market Theatre don't just bring their A-game; they bring their whole D20 collection (D&D reference! Get used to it!). These performances are so stellar they might just light up the night like a dragon's breath.
5. Geek and You Shall Find: This play celebrates the unapologetically geeky in all of us. It's like a permission slip to let your nerd flag fly high and mighty! Embrace your inner weirdo, whether you're a D&D aficionado or just someone who appreciates a good laugh!
She Kills Monsters is a comedic romp that delivers not just an escape from the ordinary but also an inspiring lesson in embracing our secret nerd. This play is so side-splittingly funny that even the gelatinous cubes might wobble with laughter (you’ll understand this reference once you come to the show, we promise). So, don your favorite wizard hat, grab your sword (or foam sword), and secure your tickets for a quest filled with epic battles and laughs galore.
