She Kills Monsters is a play about a grieving young woman who embarks on a journey into the unknown world of Dungeons and Dragons to understand the little sister she never truly knew. This production will be part of San Francisco State School of Theatre & Dance’s Spring 2024 season.

Here at the School of Theatre & Dance we not only offer education, but a sense of belonging, community, and friendship — qualities which we think this play also has to offer the world. At the heart of She Kills Monsters is a story about family, identity, and finding escape from the harsh realities of the real world. Our hope is to highlight these themes by focusing on the elements and possibilities that the Dungeons & Dragons world provides. There will be puppetry and epic battles, humor and joy, alongside the thrilling and darker elements that the play has to offer.
