She Kills Monsters ends it run Sunday, May 18.
She Kills Monsters is a drama comedy intended for older adolescents and adults.
She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans, a young woman grieving for her deceased sister. The Evans sisters were never especially close, but after Tilly’s death, Agnes receives a notebook containing a game scenario created by her sister. She discovers that Tilly was a well-known Dungeons and Dragons player, and is catapulted into a world of fairies, evil cheerleaders and sword fights with the help of Tilly’s friends. Balancing her job, love life, and her grief, Agnes begins her own quest to finally understand Tilly, and in the process, learns just how important it is to let your true self shine.
The play is written by Qui Nguyen, directed by Alex Eddy with mentored director Libby Carrico.

Ocean Shores Public Library features volcanic witness
At 12:30 p.m. on May 18, 1980, National Guard helicopter pilot Mike Cairns flew beneath the ash cloud and into the crater of Mount St. Helens to witness the volcanic eruption. In the days ahead, as Cairns and his crew flew search and rescue missions, they documented the devastation with hundreds of photographs.
Their missions would lead to three pilots and five crew members receiving the Valley Forge Cross. Cairns was one of those three pilots to receive the National Guard’s highest award for heroism. Join him as he presents his photographs in newly digitized format and shares his remarkable experience in the wake of one of the greatest volcanic explosions ever recorded in North America.
The event is Friday, May 16 from 1 to 3 p.m.
