Saturday: Vampire Lesbians of Sodom
Saturday night, head to Live Oak Theater (1301 Shattuck in Berkeley) for Virago Theatre Company's opening night of off-Broadway hit Vampire Lesbians of Sodom. Virago describes this comedy as "the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses whose rivalry as bloodsuckers and actresses endures over two thousand years with stops along the way in 1920's silent movie Hollywood and contemporary Las Vegas." The show runs through April 19, but if you come on Saturday, you get a free "Vampires Cocktail," which is reason to show up right there. The show starts at 8 PM, tickets are $28 and are available here.
