A Date With Dagon

    You gotta put yourself out there. And it takes courage to even arrange the date much less go on it. And if you're a fish-god who's been in a ten-thousand year undersea slumber... Not gonna lie, it's a lot to overcome. But there is hope! Lipschutz & Hall deliver on that hope, at least for Dagon if not for the service industry and all of humanity. It's a delightfully awkward date for the romantically disadvantaged, especially deities!

    “A Date With Dagon” is a hilarious, unexpected romp that mixes horror with rom-com. Who knew a terrifying fish-god could make us root for love? Clever, witty, and surprisingly heartfelt, this play makes even the apocalypse feel a little warmer. Perfect for anyone who loves the unusual with a side of humor.

    So it's true? There's someone for everyone? Even a terrifying fish God? This play is so fun and honestly a little hopeful at the end of the world. Love is still important. This would be so fun to design and produce!
