Jobsite joins a nationwide tribute to the master of camp, 30 Years of Charles Busch – A Celebration, in conjunction with the company’s favorite holiday!

One of the longest running plays in Off-Broadway history, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom tells the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses, a virgin sacrifice (Coco & Homo’s Zachary Hines) and her maker (veteran Jobsiteer Summer Bohnenkamp), whose paths first collide in ancient Sodom. Their bitter rivalry endures for nearly two thousand years with stops along the way in 1920’s silent movie Hollywood and contemporary Las Vegas. Moving between histrionics of classic horror cinema and the cheerful nastiness of the backstage melodrama of manners All About Eve, Vampire Lesbians sparkles with spectacle, homage and double entendre.

Jobsite’s production of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom features live music and musical interludes heavily influenced by vaudeville, English music hall, and post-war cabaret under the music direction of J. Elijah Cho. Expect unique takes on traditional and contemporary song and dance, from the 1916 torch song “Mon Homme (My Man)” to a certain theme-song from a bayou-based supernatural soap opera.

“Busch makes it very clear that this was never meant to be performed as a traditional play but as a burlesque,” offers director David M. Jenkins. “Initially I had crazy ideas about making the whole thing sort of scandalous, but that’s not really who I am or who these artists are. Probably not what the play is, either. It’s far more silly, sexy-silly I suppose. For those that don’t know Charles Busch, if you like the tongue-in-cheek camp of a Rocky Horror, a Priscilla, or John Waters flicks, you really don’t want to miss this show.”
