About the Play: She Kills Monsters
Witches and warlocks, paladins and goblins, elves and humans rejoice! Your time has come to take the stage! This coming Winter, the Orcas Center will be producing She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen. This play is a cultural phenomenon which premiered in 2011 at The Flea Theater in New York City and then swept through high schools, colleges, and community theaters across the country, eventually landing on the shores of Orcas Island. It is an action-packed Dungeons & Dragons adventure (yes, there are fight scenes) which follows a young woman’s quest to learn more about her dead sister and ultimately herself. It is a comedic, heartfelt story of sisterhood, friendship, identity, and grief which unfolds with each role of the dice.
The cast is made up of 16 characters played by 11-15 actors (list of characters here) ranging in age (14 and up), gender, and ethnicity. Depending on who auditions, casting may include some doubling of parts and/or gender-fluid casting.
To audition, email Jamey with a proposed 15 minute time slot on either of the audition dates. Walk-in auditions will be welcome, but those who have sent an email will receive priority. Auditions will take place in groups and individually in front of a small handful of people from the production team. Callbacks will take place on Thursday 11/9 at 6pm.
We look forward to your audition, and are excited to hear you sing and see you play! Emphasis for this production will be on having fun together as a team in a low stress but hard working environment.
Here’s to a great adventure!
–Jamey and The Orcas Center Team
PS: Astute actors will notice that we are auditioning She Kills Monsters and Into The Woods on the same evenings! Well done, you are correct! This is for efficiency. You are welcome to audition for both shows, but you may only be in one or the other, as your sanity is important to us!
