About the Show
SLAY! is a razor-sharp, blood-soaked celebration of queer identity, featuring campy scares, biting satire, and killer laughs. This dazzling and darkly funny revue showcases a dynamic ensemble of queer performers who bring horror and hilarity to life on stage. From repressed vampires to unicorns both figurative and literal, SLAY! invites audiences to scream, laugh, and look fabulous doing it.
The show also incorporates a fundraising component for The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people. Come out, have a scream, and support a cause that saves lives.
Creative Team and Cast
Directed by Christopher Willumsen and produced by Thomas Beheler, SLAY! features performances by Chloe Beth, Sarah Johnson, Seth Kobs, Whitney Randall, Madelyn Strasma, Chris Sylvie, and Nora McCaughey (Swing) with musical direction by Ilya Raskin.
