Simmons says, "Working on "She Kills Monsters" has been a very unique experience, where different realities are constantly colliding and competing. The worlds of puppetry and live-action, reality and fantasy, what we dream and what is mundane melt together to create a thrilling experience to live in. Through this show, I've come to realize that the worlds we all exist in don't need to compete for what is "real"; it is what we hold to be true in our hearts that guides us the most in the end. I am honored by the challenge of bringing this story to audiences."

She Kills Monsters finds a perfect balance between comedy and adventure and themes of death and loss, while appealing to the geek in us all. After losing her little sister, Tilly, in a car accident, Agnes attempts to get to know her better through the Dungeons and Dragons notebook she left behind. Immersed in a fantastic adventure full of monsters, homicidal fairies and elves, and 90s pop culture, Agnes learns more about her sister and the misunderstood gaming world she was a part of before she was abruptly taken away.
