A world premiere BY Stephen Spotswood
Directed by Lauren Patton Villegas
Performed at Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center — 7995 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20910
Running September 25-October 17, 2026
When Kim finds her best friend Ellen dead, she uses an old family recipe to bring her back to life. Sort of. Ellen doesn’t have a heartbeat, doesn’t need to breathe, and can’t leave Kim’s house without dying again. The question of whether she needs to eat human brains is still outstanding. Their friendship is put to the test as they learn that resurrection is the easy part. It’s finding a reason to go on living that’s the real trick.
Content warnings: Blood effects and discussions of homophobia, transphobia, and suicide.
We are theatre prometheus
We tell the stories that too often go untold and we reach audiences too often overlooked by larger companies. From an unflinching one-woman take on Joan of Arc and our all-woman production of Macbeth, to our critically-acclaimed Good Kids and our queered [gay] Cymbeline, we are dedicated to producing work that highlights marginalized narratives.
"Full of creativity and energy,
Theatre Prometheus is a group
you do not want to miss!"
-DC Metro Theater Arts on [all-lady] Macbeth (2016)
