[NEohioPAL] [AUDITION] She Kills Monsters: VR @ Kent Trumbull Theatre

[Eric Kildow]

Kent Trumbull Theatre is announcing auditions for "She Kills Monsters:
Virtual Realms" by Qui Nguyen. It will be performed on March 5 & 6 2021.


A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, "She Kills
Monsters" is a high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies,
nasty ogres, and 90's pop culture – a heart-pounding homage to the geek and
warrior within all of us.


We are looking for 8 female and 4 male actors (character breakdown below)
to join us for this virtual production. This play will be performed via
Zoom, all actors will need a computer with a webcam and reliable internet
access to participate, as this play will be performed completely virtually.


Current rough rehearsal schedule has rehearsals commencing January 25th,
with rehearsals M-Th until opening. The director will work with conflicts
and only call people who are needed on a given night.


Please submit a short comedic monologue via video to Eric S. Kildow (
ekildow at kent.edu) by November 25th, 2020. Please include the following in
your email:

   -

   Name
   -

   Contact Information
   -

   Weeknight Conflicts (between 5pm and 9pm M-Th)
   -

   A short list of previous roles (or enclose a resume)


Callbacks, as needed, will be in the first week of December. Please contact
Professor Kildow if you have any questions.


ROLE BREAKDOWN

NARRATOR–A mysterious female voice (think Galadriel at the beginning of
Fellowship of the Ring). May also double as Farrah the Faerie.

TILLY EVANS–Agnes’s younger sister, killed in an accident. Her D&D notebook
gives a glimpse into her life, both real and imaginary. In that world, she
is Tillius the Paladin.

AGNES EVANS–Tilly’s older sister, a senior in high school and a
cheerleader. She is average. Agnes embarks on a quest to learn more about
her sister by exploring the world of her D&D roleplaying game.

CHUCK–A Dungeon Master who used to play with Tilly.He has an awkward,
self-deprecating sense of humor.

VERA–A gothy cheerleader. Agnes’s best friend.

MILES–Agnes’s boyfriend. A football player.

KALIOPE/KELLY–Kaliope is a white-haired Dark Elf. Agile, athletic, and a
bit magical. She’s a tracker. In real life she’s Kelly, a normal high
schooler with cerebal palsy.

LILITH/LILLY–Lilith is a Demon Queen. Leather-clad with horns, she’s the
muscle of the group.In real life, she’s a bit dorky. She was close with
Tilly.

ORCUS/RONNIE–Orcus is a demon overlord of the underworld. In real life,
Ronnie is Kelly’s brother.

THE GREAT MAGE STEVE–Steve pops in and out of the game several times
quickly. This is a great small role for a crew member also interested in
Zoom effects or stage management.

FARRAH THE FAERIE–A beautiful forest faerie with an evil and violent side.
May also double as Narrator.

EVIL TINA and EVIL GABBI–Two succubi who are evil demons from the demon
world. In real life, they’re cheerleaders who used to bully Tilly.
