The Horrors of Online Dating is Molotov Theatre Group’s fourth Capital Fringe Festival production. Past productions have received recognition for “Best Comedy” in 2007 and “Best Overall” in 2008. The show features DC actors: Luke Cieslewicz, Jenny Donovan, Julie Garner, Genevieve James, Lucas Maloney, Karen Novack, Graham Pilato and Alex Zavistovich.
Kevin Finkelstein, Molotov actor and company member returns, this time in the director’s chair. “The Horrors of Online Dating creates a world seen through the eyes of a schizophrenic serial killer,” says Finkelstein. “Come for the violent deaths and buckets of blood, but stay for the possessed laptop, singing pill bottles and cat with enormous balls. The Horrors of Online Dating will redefine your concept of musicals, puppets, and general bad taste.”
The Horrors of Online Dating will be performed without an intermission.

MOLOTOV Featured on WAMU’s METRO CONNECTION
Alex Zavistovich and Lucas Maloney of Molotov Theatre Group were interviewed in November by WAMU 88.5FM’s local radio news magazine, Metro Connection. Read the blurb below and listen to the interview!
“You know when you reach the bottom of your candy bag that October 31st is but a distant memory. But DC’s Molotov Theatre is keeping the horrors of Halloween alive and well in Dupont Circle. The mission? To revive the style of the Parisian ‘Grand Guignol’ horror plays – dramas that deal with macabre subjects and often graphic violence. So, prepare for lots of eye-gouging, throat-slashing and acid-throwing. Stephanie Kaye visits the bloodied and embattled troupe, and speaks with two Molotov members, Alex Zavistovich and Lucas Maloney.”
