Dusk is a Recommended pick in the Chronicle this week. And I love the way Brenner describes the show:
DUSK: IMPROVISED TWEEN EROTICA Gnap! Theatre Projects introduces its send-up of the ridiculously popular Twilight vampire series. Every Friday and Saturday night, the (eternally) youthful fangs ‘n’ angst soap opera plays out in full unscripted hilarity as you watch the brows furrow, the eyes beseech, the libidos flare, and yet, somehow, the various hymens remain as unbroken as the giant cross at the end of Hammer Studios’ Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. Recommended. Through Nov. 21. Fri.-Sat., 8pm. Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Rd, 474-7886. $10. www.gnaptheater.org
(But Wait — There’s More!)

Dusk
Twilight by another name, the immensely popular saga of vampires and deeply conflicted adolescent sexuality turned on its pointed ear by Gnap!

Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Rd., 474-7886. $10 ($5, students). www.gnaptheater.org.
