Co-Produced by SFBATCO and Brava! For Women in the Arts

A YOUNG ACTORS LAB PRODUCTION

DATES: April 10 & 11, 2026

Brava Main Stage

Join our Young Actors Lab teen students for a heartfelt and hilarious adventure into the world of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). When Agnes loses her little sister, Tilly, in a car crash, her late sister’s old D&D journal becomes the key to reconnecting. 

Directed by Michelle Talgarow, this coming-of-age tale follows one girl’s journey into her late sister’s imagination, where she discovers courage, friendship, and her own inner hero. She Kills Monsters tackles themes of belonging, grief, and acceptance. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

This production is the Young Adventurers Edition,specifically designed for High School theater groups. 

The Young Actors Lab is a FREE pre-professional acting program for students of all experience levels. The Young Actors Lab is part of the Mission Academy of the Arts at the Brava Theater Center and programming is led by SFBATCO.
