HHS Drama Presents
"In a world before Facebook, World of Warcraft, and Massive Multiplayer Online RPGs, there once existed simply a game...This is the story of how Agnes the Average learned to finally fight and kill monsters."
She Kills Monsters is a story about connection, acceptance, and love, all told through the lens of Dungeons and Dragons. Featuring 90s pop-culture references and exciting stage combat, She Kills Monsters is one you don't want to miss!
Auditions will be held on Monday September 16th and Tuesday September 17th beginning at 3:30pm. More info about auditions is available on the Drama Club Google Classroom (kakqwvx). Come prepared with a monologue that shows off your personality and acting skills. Walk-ins are welcome! Please reach out to Mrs. Thompson with any questions.

The Hall of Fame ceremony will take place at 6:30 PM, so be sure to arrive early—we’re expecting a sold-out crowd! We are incredibly excited to celebrate these great former Rams in attendance.
