Act quickly! Tickets are going fast for our opening weekend.


She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition, written by Qui Nguyen and directed by MaryKate Lindbeck–assisted by Emma Thurston–opens this Friday, Sept. 23.


While the plot of She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition centers on high schoolers who play the long-popular roleplaying game “Dungeons and Dragons,” Pentacle Theatre’s production will ring true with older audiences as well, said director Katie Lindbeck.


“Whether you’re 18 or 80, the memory of your high school friends, enemies and experiences that shaped who you are stay with you — always,” Lindbeck said.


“The journey is a comic, action-packed exploration of the assumptions you can make about the people you love and the monsters we all must face inside and out,” said assistant director Emma Thurston.
