ABOUT

Think you’ve got baggage? Try dating when you have centuries of dating history and a literal body count. Sink your teeth into Lookingglass Theatre’s sharply funny world premiere where the only thing more frightening than vampires (and a serial killer on the loose) is having to meet your new in-laws. This romantic-comedy-meets-horror-story explores love, commitment, family…and, of course, vampires.

Have you or a loved one seen a vampire in Chicago? We want to know!
