In a post-apocalyptic "Lost Vegas", a young gunslinger named Jess December enlists the help of a mysterious samurai cowboy to help avenge the murder of her sister. However the gang they'll be going against has powers that go way beyond just gunpowder and steel. To get revenge, they may have to become just as blood-thirsty as the monsters they're facing.

REVIEWS:

"Six Rounds of Vengeance relies on westerns, samurai stories, action movies, blaxploitation flicks and vampire chillers. But what sets the company even further apart from its Off-Off-Broadway peers is the ways in which these elements have been given a contemporary twist. Instead of making brawny straight men the heroes, the Vampire Cowboys lionize characters who are women, gay, nonwhite or nerds."

 TheatreMania

"From boys in love to beasts who suck; from the darkest of caves to the fullest of moons; from the savagest of streets to the strong-armed cast; everything about this adventure is pleasantly larger than life."
