The Plot: Venerable Albuquerque theater troupe, the ViVa Players, has been beset with
challenges — changing audience tastes, bi!er internal squabbles, and a global pandemic. Now, a
ruthless developer wants to bulldoze the ViVa Playhouse to erect a digital post-production studio
and laser tag arena.
In a last ditch effort to save the historic building, passionate and tyrannical director Toto
Pendragon plans a bold adaptation, “North Valley of the Dolls,” representing a gri!y new direction
for the company…
Perhaps it should be no surprise that the spirits are restless. This time, however, the ghosts are
different, maybe even dangerous. Could it be that the ghost of tv legend and Albuquerque
sweetheart (and ViVa namesake & figurehead), Vivian Vance, herself, has come to the reckoning?
Television’s Mystery Highway and host Dax Colossal return to New Mexico to investigate.
Wri!en collaboratively by a group of 12, directed by Drew Groves, and featuring outrageous
characterizations from more than 2 dozen local performers, VAMP is a bawdy satire on a
shoestring budget. If John Waters and Christopher Guest had a baby, she might throw a tantrum about it.
