She Kills Monsters Audition Callbacks

ABOUT THE PLAY

Set in the 1990s United States, "She Kills Monsters" depicts characters who experience bullying and discrimination based on sexuality and gender identity and whose struggle with belonging, community and chosen family are explored through the lens of the fantasy realms of Dungeons & Dragons.

CASTING

This production is committed to diverse, inclusive casting. Every auditionee will be considered for every role. Most actors will have multiple roles, playing D&D fantasy characters and then characters who, in real life, attend high school or are recent high school graduates (with a few "adults" here and there).
