Dark Dizayz

"The rare show where 'it bites' could be construed as compliment"
—Alexis Soloski, Village Voice

"If a work of art is going to be sick and twisted, it must have a kernel of brilliance within it to be credible. Dark Dizayz, now at the Trilogy Theater, certainly has, though you have to listen for it."
—Arlene McKanic, Off-off-Broadway Review

Feed the Herd Theatre Company and Timothy Haskell present

Dark Dizayz is an absurd play with a cult-classic aesthetic that is part "Pimps Up, Ho's Down", part "Shadow of the Vampire" and a tinge of "Being John Malkovich". Mixed together its a hilarious look at one very odd evening for the seedy denizens of an underground subculture. Take love,confuse it with a yearning for blood, add a couple vampires and and intergalactic encounter, and you've got an outrageous comedy about a john, his prostitute, and her past that's equal parts whore and horror. It's a dark comedy for Dark Dizayz.
	Dark Dizayz is being co-directed by Alexandre "Dreguesay" Correia and Brian "Snizzy" Snapp with Costume Design by Eva "Hizzy" Hageman and Starring: Anne "H to the Izzoe" Winkles, Kevin "Kizzy" Kaine, Jamie "Yunny Tibbs" Benge, Jermaine "Gentlechild" Chambers and Mike "Dizonk" Weiss. The show incorporates multimedia and the fabulous new video hit on the hip-hop underground, "Cutie Dyke". WARNING: Explicit lyrics and sexual situations. The run of Dark Dizayz at the Trilogy Theatre will be accompanied by an invited guest, Kevin Maher, ex-TV Head co-founder and the perfect example of the multi-character one-man show Lone Drifter. He'll perform some deviants from his acclaimed Lone Drifter, as well as present original sketches for the first time.

Feed the Herd Theatre Company was formed in late 1997. Their mission this season is to define the dimensions of perspective and how the medium of theatre can shift perspectives in character, story, and point-of-view. Past productions have included their annual Harvest and Stampede festivals, Seven Seconds and The Blank Line. In the Herd brand of theatre, nothing needs be what it seems. It seems to be what it needs.
