‘She Kills Monsters’ Scenic Prop Design

‘She Kills Monsters’ is a drama-comedy play by Qui Nguyen that debuted in 2011. It tells the story of Agnes Evans, an average woman who loses her parents and little sister Tilly in a car accident. Having been very distant from her sister while she was alive, Agnes embarks on an adventure to get to know her sister better by playing a Dungeons & Dragons module that Tilly had written, and discovers things she'd never imagined. The plot takes place in reality and in the imaginary game world; in the game world Agnes learns about Tilly's exploration with her sexuality and how she struggled with her sexuality in reality.

Me and my team were tasked with set design and prop making, and built a full-sized version of our 3D model box for the play. We created a faux tree, standing at 10 feet tall for the production, and worked with lighting, sound and costume design. Scroll down to see some of my work documented below.
