Flint Youth Theatre Stage Reading

She Kills Monsters

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 7pm

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