Theatrical Tendencies is excited to announce auditions for She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen, a high-energy, heartwarming adventure that dives into grief, geek culture, and self-discovery. Auditions will take place on Monday, July 28 and Tuesday, July 29 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at Inspiration Studios in West Allis, with callbacks (if needed) on Wednesday, July 30. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. All roles are open, and we encourage performers of all backgrounds and experience levels to join us on this journey into the world of Dungeons & Dragons and beyond. (Don’t worry — no previous experience with D&D is necessary!)
Rehearsals are scheduled to begin on Monday, September 8 at Inspiration Studios, with performances running October 10–19. Auditioners should come prepared to provide any rehearsal conflicts, and all actors must be available for tech rehearsals and all performances. All performers will receive a stipend at the conclusion of the production’s run.
We look forward to seeing you at auditions and discovering the warriors within! If you have any questions, please email us at
