SLAY is a live-streamed monster hunting monologue show, performed entirely online by Ripley Improv.
SLAY marries improv, theater, monologues, inspiration from streaming TTRPGs, and the tech tools that we've all had to embrace more since the beginning of pandemic life last year to create a unique and exciting piece of live-streamed digital theater. The show opens Friday May 7th, and runs every Friday in May and June at
Twitch.tv/RipleyImprov.The premise of the show is layered: the audience clicks on the show's Twitch link, and gets a peek inside a shadowy monster-hunting government agency's computer database. One actor serves as a ringleader of sorts for the performers, taking up the role of a Monster Profiler under the employ of the secret government agency D.O.R.M. (Department of Occult Risk Management). The Profiler records a video report of her process in assembling a complete picture of a new monster each week-- and that's where the rest of the ensemble comes in.
