The Cyberspace Vampire

A Full-Length Comedy in two acts by Billie Snow

5 men, 4 women, 6 any (8 are minor parts)
Total Cast: 15, Interior

Vangela, a newly-fledged vampire, is allergic to dust. She therefore needs a new, allergen-free coffin. She and her sire, Vladimir, go shopping for one at the Van Helsing Funeral Parlor and Casket Emporium.

When Vangela and Van Helsing meet, they are smitten with one another. However, they have a problem. Van Helsing hates vampires, but does not realize that Vangela is one. Vangela believes that Van Helsing would never accept her as a vampire, and therefore is determined to become human again. When she learns that this “ex-transit” process might be possible, she embarks on discovering how to accomplish this.

Vladimir becomes exasperated with her obsession with ex-transit. He also learns that Van Helsing is a descendant of his traditional foe. To solve these problems, Vladimir seeks assistance from the ancient Grand Vizier vampire.

Numerous antics ensue.
