WARNING: Don’t Try This At Home. Inspired by the bond of true friendship, Not4Kidz presents a Jackass-Style Variety Show. Guests will take the stage with a twist. Maybe you’ve got 8 minutes to complete your set, but you also need to finish an entire sheet cake before the lights go out? Maybe everyone on the team is blindfolded? Maybe your set is interrupted by a rodeo clown? Anything that would make MTV’s most lovable idiots proud. We’re Not4Kidz, and welcome to whackass!

Adapted for the stage from the award-winning screenplay, ANTON SUCKS is a raunchy, queer, gothic romp with a coming-of-age beating heart. When a pubescent vampire discovers he can only drink the blood of a romantic lover, his crush on a village boy forces him to question his desire to fulfill his conservative father’s expectations. If you are a fan of What We Do In The Shadows, The Addams Family, Shrek, or even Call Me By Your Name, then this one is for you.
