Ever wondered what would happen if you took that heartbreaker ex back? "Different At Night" by Merryn Johns explores that very notion. Influenced by cult horror classics such as "Vampyres" and "The Hunger," Merryn's play explores the dark side of love using the metaphor of the lesbian vampire. Come see "Different At Night" as part of #QueerScareVI: Seven Halloween-themed plays at The Center, 208 W.13th Street at 7pm. $10 suggested admission.
