Glenbard North Theatre will present its spring mainstage play, "She Kills Monsters," by Qui Nguyen from April 20-22.

The comedic romp into the world of fantasy playing games will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday in the Little Theatre at Glenbard North High School, 990 Kuhn Road in Carol Stream.

It tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly's refuge.

This show is recommended for ages 13 or older due to use of adult language and themes of bullying.

Tickets are $8. Purchase tickets at glenbardnorthhs.seatyourself.biz.
