LAUGH (AND SCREAM) WITH LEWBERGER AND SLAM FRANK’S ALEX LEWIS IN BUCKET OF BLOOD: THE HORROR COMEDY CABARET
Los Angeles Developmental Readings based on the Roger Corman film
Los Angeles - June 9, 2026: Lewberger and SLAM FRANK’S ALEX LEWIS is set to star in the developmental reading of BUCKET OF BLOOD: THE HORROR COMEDY CABARET, directed by Ari Stidham, who adapted the book and added new songs with arrangements and musical direction by Ethan Furman. The event will take place at The NiteCap (2200 West Burbank Boulevard #B, Burbank, CA) on Friday, June 26 & July 3 at 8 pm and Saturday, June 27 and July 5 at 2 pm. Tickets will be $25 and are available at www.bucketofblood.net/
Lewis will play Walter Paisley, the busboy-turned-murderer at the center of the story.
This cabaret version of BUCKET OF BLOOD: THE ORIGINAL BEATNIK MUSICAL draws on the twisted vision and macabre mind of Roger Corman. Bucket of Blood brings you back to a time when jazz was in the air, the counterculture was in full swing, and the beatnik art scene was just die for, daddy-o.
When he accidentally kills a cat and covers it in clay, Walter Paisley, an unlucky and impressionable busboy, suddenly rises to the top of the art world. But how long can he stay there?
BUCKET OF BLOOD: THE HORROR COMEDY CABARET will be performed on
Friday, June 26 at 8 pm
Saturday, June 27 at 2 pm.
Friday, July 3 at 8 pm
Sunday, July 5 at 2 pm.
Tickets are $25 and available at www.bucketofblood.net/. Seating is extremely limited at The NiteCap, 2200 West Burbank Boulevard #B, Burbank, CA.
Additional casting and creative team members will be announced at a later date.
