When two college recruiters at a prestigious university need to fill one last spot to keep their jobs, thirteen eccentric, dimwitted and slightly-insane high school seniors are eager to come in for an interview. What seems like a simple task turns into a nightmare when the applicants turn out to be a reality TV star, a practicing vampire, an amateur magician, and others that are much, much worse. Each applicant's interview hilariously illustrates what NOT to do at a college interview. (This play has a sequel called 14 More Ways To Screw Up Your College Interview.)

This crazed mash-up parody of the Harry Potter and Twilight series (with nods to Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Alice in Wonderland, and other stars of the pop culture pantheon) features invisible rabbits, armies of babies, murderous lunatics, evil gourmets and much more. Hilarity ensues as everyone's favorite wizards, vampires, and werewolves battle to save the gloomy town of Spork -- and indeed the world -- from certain destruction at the hands of the nefarious Fine Diner and the bloodthirsty Euphoria.

2 females, 2 males, 26 either

$35.00 per performance; $7.99 per book

What do you get when you combine an after school special, a penguin heist, accent-challenged knights, puppet-show Shakespeare, and a vampire murder mystery? One playwright thinks these could be the ingredients for his magnum opus, but it could be the recipe for the worst play ever written in the history of the world...and possibly the universe. With Stage Directions and Scene Heading as our narrators and flashy Flashback giving backstory, nothing on earth could possibly outdo this hilariously awful night of theater.

$75.00 per performance; $8.99 per book

This live comic book anthology contains three irreverent comedies that hilariously skewer well-beloved genres.

$75.00 per performance; $8.99 per book

An adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel that preserves the Victorian tendencies of his writing while veering wildly into new vampire territory. As Seward, head of the asylum, and his close friend Van Helsing attempt to thwart the machinations of Dracula, Lucy seeks Dracula out and Mina begins succumbing to his spell. Wickedly clever language and an often nightmarish world combine to create a Dracula unlike it's ever been seen before.

Count Dracula seems like just another customer to bumbling real estate salesman Jonathan Harker. Well, except for his really long fangs, his lack of a reflection, his fear of garlic and crosses, and his intolerance for sunlight. But when the Count holds Jonathan captive and pursues a romantic relationship with his fiancee, believing she is his long-lost bride, well that's enough to make any man want to drive a stake through someone's heart.

$40.00 per performance; $7.99 per book

A new crop of American thespians are eager to start L.A.V.A.'s Summer Drama Program in the remote English moors -- so much so that no one seems to care that the classes are only after midnight, there are wolves constantly howling in the distance, and their guide is a zombie. Not to mention that all their teachers are strangely pale and insistent that the first production of the season is "Dracula." Maybe Jenn, with the help of fellow student Katherine Helsing, can get to the bottom of what is going on behind the scenes at this lunatic drama school.

When three candidates are called to interview for a PR position at the North Pole, they expect to find a dream job gift-wrapped for them. But all that changes once they meet Big Red himself -- suddenly everything they thought they knew about him is proven terrifyingly wrong. Even if this revelation has sucked all the life out of the legend for them, the alternative is worse: what would happen if everyone knew? Can they help Santa maintain his jolly public image, or could this be the end of Christmas as we know it?

High school is hard enough, but four teenage descendants of famous movie monsters find the experience unbearable.

The only people who threaten their newfound confidence are two school bullies who trick them into running for class officers knowing they'd never win. Set to the tune of a fun, contemporary score, Ginny helps her friends turn the situation around, sending a message to even the bullies about tolerance and the value of friendship.
