She Kills Monsters delves into an imaginary world of adventure, and the use of puppetry will help bring the illusion of fantasy to life on stage.
The puppets are being built by the Puppet Theatre class of nine students. The show will feature a variety of puppets – from shadow puppets to a giant worm to demon heads to an evil fairy. They will not only vary in types, but also materials. They are creating the puppets with a variety of materials that range from cardboard to recycled materials to children’s toys to moldable plastic . Since there are no standard procedures for most types of puppets, the students are working with various methods in order to find what will work best for the puppetry needs of the show.
