She Kills Monsters Digital Backdrops: Projection Scenery for Epic Fantasy Storytelling

She Kills Monsters is one of those rare plays that lives in two worlds at once.

One moment we’re in the real world — grief, memory, family.
The next? We’re deep inside a Dungeons & Dragons fantasy quest filled with dragons, demons, maps, caves, and battles.

From a director’s perspective, that’s exciting… and intimidating.

Because this show doesn’t just need “a set.”
It needs a whole world.

That’s where digital projection backdrops can completely transform the production process.

Digital backdrops help you:
✨ Move quickly between scenes
