Mark your calendars for Friday evening, MAY 29th!
You Oughta be in Fangs
Written and directed by Death by Design
Decadent 1920s party-goers in search of hot-jazz and free-flowing booze, head to an underground speakeasy run by conjoined whisper sisters, but discover cold bodies and free-flowing blood. Assisted by a team of waxen virgins and undead goons, Vampires move incognito through the euphoric crowd, adding to their brood.
Come and enjoy an evening of cocktails, live entertainment, and delectable Vampire bites.
