Beginner's Guide to Deicide, A

Synopsis:
the lights come down, and a guy named Bob Moran, whose exact function or reason for being here is never remotely explained, narrates some pre-show "warnings." Shortly after this, the play proper begins, in the midst (so it appears) of a scene between a teenage parochial school student named Lucy and a Pope. the title and the advertising blurbs have already clued us in on Lucy's objective she's decided to kill God, for no clearer reason (at the moment) than that she's dissatisfied with how He's done His job. the Pope, naturally, is opposed. It's not long before they've launched into one of Vampire Cowboys' signature fight sequences, with the girl wielding a sword and the Pope wielding an official-looking staff.

Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G, The

Synopsis:
He lost his country, his family, and his soul. But what he hasn't lost is his taste for revenge! It's been 10 years since Agent G has last been to Vietnam where his family and friends were all viciously slain.

After 8 years of exploding movie genre after movie genre onto the live stage, Vampire Cowboys now takes their irreverent pop-culture aesthetic and applies it to a true story, in their most daring and risk-taking venture yet.

Lush Valley

Synopsis:
Join in the formation of an idyllic yet attainable society in Lush Valley, where participants and performers unite in an interactive live art experience. This highly interactive guided journey is shaped nightly by real-time audience feedback. Lush Valley invites audience members to abandon their spectator hats and become key players in fashioning an alternative of-the-moment national ethos through live video interviews, citizenship tests, lectures, voting procedures and historical hallucinations while creating an ad hoc community within the show. Lush Valley is set in a government office staffed by eight immigration officers who process audience members nightly for citizenship to Lush Valley. the Lush Valley experience features everything from intimate monologues delivered to individual audience members to surreal comic book group scenes and choreographed sequences of bureaucratic alienation performed by the entire company. Within this complex framework, a narrative built around the hopes and worries of a cadre of immigration officers transpires as they question each other's motives and ethics in granting and denying citizenship. During the show each night, real-time audience feedback shared through person-to-person interaction, texting, on-site kiosks and online social media is incorporated into the proceedings. This production has evolved through a very open, public collaboration that helped define the project through online dialogue (via blog and facebook), in-person community think tanks, video interviews and public art actions.

Synopsis:
18 playwrights. 3 plays. One performance of each. Piper McKenzie's Dainty Cadaver is an Exquisite Corpse-style playmaking project in which multiple playwrights collaborate on a single work without knowing what the hell the others are doing.

For its inaugural edition, Piper McKenzie will present one-night-only performances of three new plays written in this unique collaborative style, with results ranging from inspired chaos to eerie synchronicity - all tied together by the unique voices of 18 hot playwrights, divided into three teams and staged by three directors. the teams and their performance details are as follows: TEAM A: Fri 1/28, 8pm: Johnna Adams, Eric Bland, Jeff Lewonczyk, Mac Rogers, Crystal Skillman, Art Wallace. Directed by Jordana Williams. TEAM B: Sat 1/29, 8pm: Danny Bowes, Matt Freeman, Qui Nguyen, Carolyn Raship, August Schulenburg, Alexis Sottile. Directed by Hope Cartelli. TEAM C: Sun 1/30, 3pm: Maggie Cino, James Comtois, John DeVore, Cara Francis, Rich Lovejoy, Justin Maxwell. Directed by John Hurley.
