The Prize, a twisted horror play in four acts Louis DeVaughn Nelson & Hokum Arts
About This Show
Inspired by the classic short story The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, this black satirical horror comedy tells the story of two powerful corporate couples from the LGBT community vying for a most heinous albeit coveted prize. Markus and Holger versus Susan and Marla. All members of a secret society of formidable gays, these two teams have a longstanding camaraderie and rivalry based on capitalistic greed. Constantly wagering their minions against each other (in the arena of the arts of all places), their covert attempts to win it all backfire in the end.
Featuring: Christin Eve Cato, Vince Chang, Taylor Harlow, Stephanie Israelson, Phillip Pineno, Jamie Ragusa, Caity Urquhart
