Ashley and Veronica make a Fringe show

"Slay Me" is a one woman show written and performed by Veronica Rosas and directed by Ashley Karp.

Victoria has a massive crush on her neighbor. He fixes her kitchen sink and men being useful is sexy.

As can be expected, he turns out to be a serial killer. What should Victoria do? Call the cops? Maybe.

But first she's gonna go over there and confront him. She was sure there was a spark between them and yet he murders twelve women and not her? She deserves an explanation.

She's just gotta do her makeup first.
