Contribute to the UNTITLED VAMPIRE COWBOYS PROJECT!

Written By Ariel Estrada

Vampire Cowboys, the OBIE-Award winning pioneers of geek theater, are busy working on a new project. A top-secret untitled new project...UNTITLED VAMPIRE COWBOYS PROJECT. In a seemingly utopian future, a young lady with unique abilities sets out on a murderous path to keep that world intact. What she doesn't realize is if she fails, the world will go to hell...literally.

UNTITLED VAMPIRE COWBOYS PROJECT is the first new Vampire Cowboys' play in three years to be written by Co-Artistic Director Qui Nguyen. And we are bringing it to the stage for only 4 performances from July 30th to August 2nd. Co-Artistic Director Robert Ross Parker will take the reins to mount this new production as part of the Ice Factory Festival presented by the New Ohio Theatre.

The Vampire Cowboys having so much fun creating this new Qui Nguyen play, with fights, and puppets and projections and songs and more!  But they need a little more help to get it to the stage.  

Please consider contributing toward the $6000 that will help bring all of these elements together and make it a Vampire Cowboys' event. $6000 will help us to pay VC artists for their work both onstage and backstage. VC artists give their time, their creativity, and their hearts to make VC's geek-y theater dreams a moving, fighting, fun reality.  Your help makes this work possible.
