Alice in Slasherland

Written By Qui Nguyen
Directed By Leslie Plaia

June 6-22, 2013
Thursday-Saturday Nights at 8pm

Performed at 5th Avenue Antiques

When young Lewis Diaz accidentally resurrects the soul of a brutally slain girl named Alice, he unwittingly unleashes a literal hell on Earth. Now, with every imaginable kind of demon, monster, and killer ravaging his small town, it's up to Lewis and his newly undead companion to protect his classmates -- including longtime crush Margaret -- from becoming freshly slaughtered carcasses. With the help of Alice's trash-talking demonic teddy bear, Lewis races to find a way to close the rift before the devil himself shows up and totally ruins their senior prom.

Featuring: Hunter Brown, Sydney Fant, Byron King, Leah Hudspeth, Thomas William Shaw and Josh Roberts
