Your presence is requested at Blood Gala. An ancient vampire prepares to step down as leader of that most otherworldly and haunted of occult spaces—the non-profit cultural institution. But first, one more fundraiser! Two of NYC’s most provocative meme-makers and performance artists—Shawn Escarciga (@missladysalad) and Joanie Drago (@meanmommy6969)—join forces to create a *biting* satire about institutions, power, money, and the relentless thirst for blood.
