Charles Busch’s first play, “Vampire Lesbians of Sodom,” was written in-between coffee breaks while working as a temp in Manhattan. He and his friends just HAD to put on the show. They loved what they did and were passionate about making it happen.
Today, “Vampire Lesbians of Sodom” is considered one of the all-time best gay plays and camp classics. He recently won an acting award from the Sundance Film Fesitival for his starring role in “Die Mommie Die”
