Overview
It’s vampires versus teenagers in this epic battle to stop graduation from turning into a bloodbath. Caitlin’s really, really smart and is class valedictorian. But she’s also been acting really, really weird lately—so weird that Carly thinks she’s a vampire. And not a friendly, high school vampire who just likes to sleep in, but the kind that wants to destroy all her classmates and turn them into an army of her undead minions. Can Carly and her friends stop Caitlin before graduation night? Or will they be doomed to live for eternity without a high school diploma?

Casting Note:
The entire cast can be played by high school students. The “students” in the cast are all around 17 years old, and if you need to change gender, that’s fine.
The “teachers” should be played by students as well. They don’t need to be aged in any way other than perhaps wearing a more adult outfit like a sports jacket, a tie, just something that sets them apart from the “students”.

Reviews
“As an astute comedy with meaty roles that teen performers can sink their teeth into, Vampire Valedictorian gets an A+.
—Susan E. Lee, Founder, Camp Broadway LLC
“Michael Griffo aptly and cleverly captures the language and tone of teen life in 2021. This dark comedy has an on point message and is pitch perfect. I recommend a Griffo play festival!”
—Dani Davis, Emmy award winning writer, director, and Broadway producer
