She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition

She Kills Monsters Young Adventurers Edition tells the story of high schooler Agnes Evans as she deals with the death of her younger sister, Tilly. When Agnes stumbles upon Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with vicious fairies, elven baddies, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all. With heart and humor, this show addresses themes around grief, LGBTQ+ identity, bullying and fantasy violence. While adapted for high school performers, it includes stylized combat, strong language, and emotional scenes about the death of a teenage sibling, making it best suited for audiences aged 13 and older.
Run Time: 90 min. No Intermission. 
Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg Heffley is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor, Fregley. Or maybe his best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg... no way.
Jeff Kinney’s popular character takes center stage as Greg’s cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Musical is generally considered age-appropriate for children aged 7 and up, with many productions around the country recommending it for ages 4+. The show is widely considered as a family-friendly musical adaptation, focusing on middle school humor, friendship, and school life that all students will find funny and enjoyable, especially if they are familiar with the books. The musical plot closely follows Greg Heffley through the events of the first book in the series, his struggles with popularity, friendship and bullying.
Run Time: 60 minutes

​About the Show: Summit High School and Bend Senior High School unite for their first-ever joint production with Head Over Heels, the irresistible jukebox musical set to the chart-topping hits of The Go-Go’s. Inspired by Philip Sidney’s The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia, the show follows the royal court of Arcadia after a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi warns that the kingdom will lose its “Beat,” the life force that sustains its prosperity. Determined to outwit fate, King Basilius leads the court on a wild journey through the woods where mistaken identities, unexpected romance, and gender-expansive disguises turn tradition on its head. The result is a vibrant celebration of authenticity, acceptance, and love.

Featuring high-energy vocals, a live rock band, and Ancient Greece-meets-the-1980s design, this production invites audiences to groove along to iconic songs including “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is a Place on Earth,” and “Mad About You.” 
Head Over Heels is directed by Lara Okamoto, co-directed by Madeline Schreiber, with music direction by Angelina Anello-Dennee and choreography by Emily Tompkins. The live band is directed by Cooper Ottum.
