A Beginner’s Guide to Deicide

Vampire Cowboys Theatre Company looks to find God (and kill Him) in the satirical A Beginner’s Guide to Deicide.

This new comedy by Qui Nguyen and Robert Ross Parker traces the epic odyssey of Lucy, a Catholic schoolgirl (and all-around whiz with a battle-axe), who’s seeking God–whom she considers unjust and evil–so that she can take The Big Guy out once and for all. Accompanied by her scientifically-minded sidekick Mary, the duo is helped along by evolutionist Charles Darwin, who tells them to go back to the dawn of time to find God. And so they do, engaging in hilariously gory battles along the way with the likes of The Pope, Frederich Neitzche, Dante Alighieri, Joan of Arc and Jesus Christ. It all leads to a final, all-or-nothing showdown with the Omnipotent One himself.

Directed by Parker, with fight direction by Nguyen.
