Vampire lesbians? Say no more
Cité des Arts gets hilariously creepy beginning Friday with a run of Plastic Theater of Lafayette’s production of Charles Busch’s Vampire Lesbians of Sodom. We’re not precisely sure what this play is about. But it has vampire, lesbians and Sodom in its title, so we’re banking on it not being a Neil Simon type of deal.
The production is produced by Keith Dorwick and directed by Nathanael Trahan and, according to a press release, has something to do with an aging screen star who also happens to be an immortal vampire. Sunset Strip meets Ed Wood maybe?
Vampire Lesbians of Sodom runs Friday-Saturday, Oct. 19-20, 26-27 and 31 at Cité des Arts, 109 Vine St. Curtain opens at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 for students and senior citizens. Prizes will be given away. Call 291-1122 for tickets, or go online here.

An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
