Intent upon producing work wherein the common element is an irreverent approach to a serious theme, Cherry Red is dedicated to plays that appeal first to the body, then to the mind. Whether skewering the classics or premiering newfound filth, our outrageous, psychotronic signature has made "Cherry Red" synonymous with "cutting fucking edge"!

The Critics Are Jacking off:
"Blood! Guts! Tits! Ass! Fucking! Is nothing subversive sacred? In a city where
subscription sales have been known to drive artistic choice, Cherry Red goes out
on a uh limb."
Amanda Fazzone, Washington City Paper
"A prime example of 'psychotronic theatre,' in the vein of filmmakers Russ
Meyer and John Waters. Cherry Red hasn't toned down its act. The tiny company actually
seems to have ratcheted up the intensity!"
Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post
"Cherry Red has won a loyal Gen-X following."
Sarah Kaufman, The Washington Post
"When was the last time a B-movie was this much fun?"
Angela Hooker, Generation Next
"Funny! A celebration of sleaze! Eagerly, and perversely, one waits tosee what
they'd cook up if anyone gave them some money."
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Washington City Paper
"Smuttiness! Camp! A high body count! Also a first-class performance."
Dan Avery, Metro Weekly
"Sleazy, cheesy, gooey, spewy farce about sex, drugs, murder, transgenderism
and bad words. Think John Waters only not as tasteful. Guaranteed to make you either
laugh out loud or run screaming from the theater."
William Triplett, The Washington Post
