Is there anything more satisfying than pretending to beat the ever loving life out of anyone? I love stage combat. It was one of my favorite classes in college and I auditioned for any show that involved punching, kicking, falling, leaping or throttling.
The great thing about Dusk is that, well? It's about supernatural creatures as well as humans and supernatural creatures have supernatural abilities.
We've been working hard at Dusk rehearsals coming up with all kinds of sweet, sweet special effects, fight moves and physical mayhem. I won't spoil it for you lucky audience members, but just know we are gonna rock your world.
Now excuse me while I go look for more people to pound on! Just for practice! I swear!!

Undying Love
Hey Dusk Fans! It's Julie, here with a question: Love. Does it ever die?
Not if you are immortal. I think that's one of the tensions which draws fans to the vampire mythology. It may (or may not) be a trope more biased towards women, but really....the sexy undead one loves you.
For. Ev. Er.
And that can be a very sexy idea for a lot of folks out there. Plus the eternal youth thing is cool.
Seems like I've always been drawn to the world of vamps. From the original Dracula to terrible TV movies to Buffy and onwards towards Laurell K. Hamilton, there are vamps for every taste. And Twilight, with Edward and Bella (and Jacob, let's not forget as werewolves are a whole other story) is no exception.
I will say though, that I'm especially drawn to characters like Spike from Buffy and James from Twilight. I totally dig the bad-ass vamps who dress to the nine's and kill with style. Maybe that's another reason so many of us love vampire stories-after spending most of the day being good, we get to be really bad, even if for a little while.
This show, Dusk, is going to be amazing-funny, sexy, violent, campy, wild, smart and fierce.
You are gonna love it. Forever.

FIRST PRESS!!!
Attention Duskies: We are not alone! The Onion's Austin A.V Club shares our passion. Here's what they wrote about the upcoming show of the century!
As the various branches of The Onion, Inc. have found over the past year, there's a lot of humor to be found in the Book Of Mormon-tainted, vampires-and-werewolves drama of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga. We've also discovered that the smallest slight to the series and/or anything remotely related to it has a way of turning legions of Twilight fans into luminescent-skinned beasts sniffing out spilled blood. So you don't have to fear for the lives of the Gnap! Theater Project players who'll spend November sending up Twilight, as their Dusk is billed as a "loving" attempt at squeezing the funny out of Meyer's ice-cold "lions" and the "lambs" who love them. The gender politics alone hold the potential for a month's worth of laughs—not that we're suggesting they're harmful or hurtful in any way. Please, no more incensed comments about "RPatz." Uh… hey look, a New Moon trailer!
Sneak Preview?
There's a rumor that there will be a sneak preview show somewhere in Austin, early October. We'll keep our vampire hearing up and alert you of any news...
Ticket Sales Are Live!
Okay, Duskies, you can be the first to buy tickets for the shows. Ticket sales went live on http://dusk.eventbrite.com/ as of 10 hours ago. And if the New Moon pre-sales are any indicator, this mamajama is going to sell out!
