Dusk (full name: Dusk: Improvised Tween Erotica) was a show produced by Gnap! Theater Projects.
It was an improvised take on The Twilight Saga.
Show Structure
The show included many of the tropes associated with the novels, including a werewolf/vampire/human love triangle, a diary voiceover, and some sort of vampire sporting event.
History
The show had two mainstage runs at Salvage Vanguard Theater. The first was Fridays and Saturdays from 10/23/09 to 11/21/09. The second was Fridays and Saturdays from 10/22/10 to 11/20/10.
