The suggested donation for admission is $10. Funds raised will benefit the Viscera Organization and WomenArts, the Fund for Women Artists. The performance contains material which is not appropriate for children or the easily traumatized. 


And a few days later, the Fresh Blood Monthly Reading Series for new horror and suspense plays returns with an evening of monster-ific terror! This month at Fresh Blood: Full Moons & Monsters, you'll encounter a werewolf (and the scientist who kidnaps her), a researcher and a photographer who observe mysterious rituals while tracking a yeti, and a man who has been suffering the curse of the dreaded jinn in three new plays that will inspire you check under the bed again and again.

  • Wolfsbane by Shannon Lippert
  • Sounds in the Wind by Timothy Kopacz
  • A Taste of Hell by Maximillian Singh Gill

And don't forget to check back soon for details on The Best of Fresh Blood, an evening of horror one-acts, March 28-31, when you'll see four of our favorite plays from the reading series come to life in full productions! We'll keep you posted on the details. 

And as always, if you're interested in getting involved with our organization, please, submit your short plays, send us your headshots, or just write us a lovely comment in the space provided.
