Studio Players proudly announces partnership with The Montclair Foundation and Van Vleck House & Gardens as the group takes up residency for a site-specific production of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. The play, which weaves a tale of love, betrayal, and trickery through the words of history’s greatest dramatist, will inhabit the entire 5.8 acre facility– interior and exterior– as the romp unfolds. Explore the historic architecture and manicured gardens of this beloved local gem while attending the intertwining tales of Beatrice, Benedick, Hero, and Claudio in this unique production.

She Kills Monsters is a heartfelt, emotion-filled, action-packed comedy that takes audiences on a thrilling journey into the world of Dungeon & Dragons!  When Agnes Evans stumbles on her late sister Tilly’s D&D notebook, she discovers a side to her that she never knew filled with epic battles, fierce warriors, and hilarious, geeky fun.  Packed with humor, heart, and high-energy action, this imaginative and nostalgic play is a must see for gamers, fantasy lovers, nineties babies, and anyone who’s ever searched for connection in the most unexpected places.
