Derek Heeren Performs His One Man Show in October I SUCK: A Vampire Comedy is Playing October 24th and 25th

Award-Winning Actor and Writer Derek Heeren will be performing his one man show I SUCK: A Vampire Comedy for two limited engagements. First show is at the Namba Arts’ Playwright’s Splash Festival on Saturday,

October 24th at 7:00 pm. The last show will be at Spookyfest at the Hobgoblin Theater on Sunday, October 25th at 3:00 pm. I SUCK: A Vampire Comedy makes audiences laugh while sinking their teeth into the deeper question: What good is eternal life if you’re not really living?

For Stan, played by Derek Hereen, being a vampire really sucks. He’s made every wrong choice for centuries. Instead of powers and riches, all he has to show for it is an eternal midlife crisis. He’s stuck in a dead-end job as a middle manager in Toledo, living paycheck to paycheck, haunted by centuries of catastrophically bad decisions. His latest crisis? After realizing he feels a kinship with every human, they’re all his descendants, technically, Stan finds himself unable to feed and sets out to escape his vampire contract. He embarks on a supernatural journey from heaven to hell, encountering everyone from a chatty St. Peter to a bored demon named Larry to Satan himself.

Directed by Guy Picot and produced by Jessica Glassberg, I SUCK: A Vampire Comedy is simultaneously a unique exploration of one character’s failure to launch over the course of a millennia, and a relatable reflection of the overwhelming obstacles we all face.
