Philadelphia Inquirer

...Slasher elicits laughs by intentionally indulging in everything that makes horror films atrociously unentertaining.

Broad Street Review

Moore manages to bring a plethora of contemporary themes into the play, from feminism to militant pro-life groups to an insider's view of the horror-movie genre...It's a job well done!

San Francisco Examiner
Premiere Production: Slasher was first produced at the 2009 Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theater of Louisville on March 6, 2009.

Characters

  • Casting: 2M, 4F

  • SHEENA MCKINNEY - 21, girl-next-door kind of pretty. Not book-smart, but a survivor.
    HILDY MCKINNEY - 15, Sheena's little sister. Smarter than Sheena, but less capable in a crisis.
    FRANCES MCKINNEY - 40-50, their mother. Angry, thwarted feminist with a questionable disability. Gets around her house with the aid of a li'l rascal scooter. Loud.
    MARC HUNTER - 35-40, a D-list director and recovering alcoholic and sex addict. Tells everyone he's younger than he is.
    JODY JOSHI - 23, an undergrad film school dude. Capable, knows his stuff, but kind of a kiss-ass.
    CHRISTI GARCIA - 25-30, Assistant Director of the Holy Shepherd Justice League. Very put together, as if she's always ready to make a statement on camera. Not to be underestimated.
    BRIDGET / MARCY / BETH / MADISON - Attractive young women who are killed in various ways, all to be played by the actor playing CHRISTI GARCIA.
    WOMAN / CAR HOP / RADIO ANNOUNCER / NEWS ANCHOR - Also to be played/voiced by the actor playing CHRISTI GARCIA.
