Published Reviews

"A geek kid's theater dream come true!"

Christina Ku, Show Business Weekly

"...theatrical brilliance."

David Cote, Time Out New York

"...razor-sharp, pop culture-informed comedy, impressive feats of pulse-pounding stage combat, and confident storytelling."

Will Fulton, NYTheatre.com

"Qui Nguyen's witty script parodies the slasher film genre even as it crafts an engaging action/adventure tale."

Dan Bacalzo, Theatermania

"Nguyen's gleefully silly Alice in Slasherland...continues Vampire Cowboys Theatre Company's exploration of pop culture genres in this sly, self-referential comedy."

Jason Zinoman, The New York Times
