Enter a world of adventure this weekend.
The Coupeville High School Theater Troupe presents the coming-of-age drama/comedy She Kills Monsters May 11-13, with the curtain going up each night at 7:00 PM.
The school’s Performing Arts Center opens at 6:30, with tickets $10 for adults, $7 for students without ASB, and $5 for students with ASB.
She Kills Monsters, written by Qui Nguyen, made its debut in 2011.
The story tracks Agnes Evans, a young woman who loses her parents and younger sister in a car accident.
Trying to forge a connection with a sister she was distant from in real life, Agnes plays out a Dungeons and Dragons adventure written by her sibling.
Mixing reality and an imaginary game world, the play allows the living sister to discover secrets about her sister and get a deeper understanding of what her life was like while alive.
“We have worked SO HARD on this production,” said theater director Stefanie Ask.
“This play was a big leap for us, with the need to learn stage combat and swordplay, construct caves, build giant monsters out of paper mache … but it’s turning out great.
“The students have worked so hard, and they’ve put together a performance that is hilarious, adventuresome, and deeply, deeply meaningful,” she added. “They deserve your applause.”
