alice in slasherland: the world premiere
In March of 2010, Vampire Cowboys premiered their bloodiest show yet, ALICE IN SLASHERLAND, a slasher comedy about a teenage fanboy who accidentally opens a gateway into hell by resurrecting the soul of a brutally slain girl named Alice. The show garnered rave reviews and a completely soldout run as it blew up HERE Arts Center with VC's trademark theatrics including the fan-favorite puppet character Edgar, a smooth-talking badass teddy bear out to save the world.
