11th Hour Productions

OVERVIEW

In 1980s suburbia, beauty is power and blood runs beneath the blush. A darkly funny, campy thriller where housewives hide fangs, secrets simmer, and the makeup empire has a hunger all its own.

SHOW SYNOPSIS & details

as submitted by the artist(s)

Set in the 1980s, "Mary Kay Vampires" follows Ester Davis, a former pageant queen, Vera Marsden, an intellectual enigma, a mysterious affliction known as "The Hunger", and you guessed it -- the infamous pastel pink pyramid scheme of Mary Kay Cosmetics. It's blush. It's lipstick. It's a lot of LED pads. Come for the camp, stay for the blood.

Girl, if you love Drop Dead Gorgeous, What We Do in the Shadows, and Season 4 of American Horror Story, this is the show for you.

11th Hour Productions is a queer theatre company based in Orlando, Florida, where we call the Orlando Fringe Festival home. Our work has earned accolades including Best LGBT Show (Gay Cowboys, 2023), Best LGBT Director (Ciara Hannon - Gay Cowboys, 2023), Best Show in Yellow Venue (Leviticus, Orlando Fringe 2019, Clean Sweep Award (An Adele Horror Story 2021) and Fringiest of the Fringe (An Adele Horror Story, 2021).

11th Hour Productions has always been dedicated to telling queer stories, but as we've grown, so has our commitment to giving back to the community. In April 2024, we remounted An Adele Horror Story, a beloved Fringe festival staple and box office hit. This run was particularly special, as we raised $875 for The Center Orlando -- further cementing our belief that storytelling is the most powerful when it uplifts and supports the community. Recently, the Florida governor cut $32 million in arts funding, blaming the Orlando and Tampa Fringe Festivals for being "sexual". If you want to see the queer art that's making the Florida governor shake in his lifted boots, we've got you covered. 11th Hour Productions is a collection of loud, proud queer women telling bloody, campy vampire stories -- straight from a very, VERY red state.
