Hot on the heels of last year's monstrous seasonal special Just Another Zombie Holiday Show, Vampire Christmas is EXIT's latest foray into creating our own holiday classics, one twisted creature feature at a time. Co-written by longtime EXIT veterans and heroes of the indie theater scene, Allison Page and Stuart Bousel, and directed by Alejandro Emmanuel Torres, Vampire Christmas will provide an excellent escape from the usual Christmas-time fare, for the living and the undead alike.
Former princess Marjean has been hosting her Friends' Christmas for almost a century but this year it's different: Theodore has abandoned her for a werewolf, Georgette is dating a swamp creature, the Twins won't stop fighting, and Daisy Horchester is dead. Like, Dead For Good. Will she be able to win Theodore back with a new blood soup recipe? Will her non-denominational centerpieces turn everything around? Will they all succumb to the seductions of group lothario Sylvester? How can you live your best unlife, when the unlife you have is hardly alive?
Allison Page and Stuart Bousel have a long history of working together including Allison having directed Stuart's play Adventures In Tech (With Pillow Talk On The Side) for PianoFight, and Stuart directing Bag of Dickens for Killing My Lobster, where Allison is Artistic Director. Both have worked extensively at the EXIT Theatre, which has produced world premiere productions of Allison's plays Hilarity and Killgallen/Jones, and produced Stuart Bousel-directed productions of Clive Barker's Paradise Street, Ionesco's Exit The King, and Aristophanes' Congresswomen. EXIT is also the site of Stuart's homegrown new works festival, The SF Olympians, in which Allison has participated, in some capacity, every year since 2010.
