Mark your calendars for our April 19 show! It's time again for our amateur show, a fabulous night where five people who want to join our cast show us what they've got live on stage in a competition to see who comes out on top. They've been training for months; witness the birth of new Vilifiers!
A blue and purple background of lines and flashes that approximates the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? logo. The Vilification Tennis logo is there instead, with "Who Wants to Be A" around its edges and the word "Vilifier" glowing in the front. Text to the left of the logo reads "Five people audition live on stage" and text to the right of the logo reads "April 19, 6:30pm, Strike Theater"

We're bringing the glitz and glam of a Super Bowl halftime show to Strike Theater, the only way we know how: with dick jokes and probably very middling glitz and glam. Whether you love football or hate it, this show will leave you wanting more (or less) of whatever it is we do. Let's call it comedy!
An illustration of a football stadium, with bright lights and golden stars dazzling from the stands. In bright yellow collegiate font letters it reads "The Vilification Tennis Super Bowl Halftime Show" and beneath that in white collegiate font letters reads "February 15, 6:30pm, Strike Theater"

SUNDAY at 6:30PM at Strike Theater, join us for Vil is Blind: an evening of messy drama, big personalities, and drunken hookups! Just kidding about that last one... unless... Tickets are $15+fees in advance, $20 at the door. Doors at 6:00, show at 6:30. No late seating!
The Love Island title image, complete with glittery golden heart, is overlaid with cartoon versions of the Vilifiers. They are not organized into rounds or teams, just one big bunch of dateless wonders trying to get famous on television by dating strange.  From top left going clockwise: Spencer, Nikki, Pher, Dave, Ad, Laurie, James, Caitlyn. The center text reads "January 18" in the Love Island font. The border stroke has a really nice gradient effect that matches the sand and the ocean of the background image perfectly and the person who made it is really good at alt text, too.

Two posters on a hotel wall. The poster on the bottom is a Vilification Tennis Twilight show promo poster. The poster above it is a hand-drawn imitation with parody text. "Vilification Tennis Sucks: A Vampire Show" becomes "Vilification Salt Sucks: A Salt Show" for example.

Our next show is on 4/20, and we refuse to ignore fate; we're doing a show celebrating, venerating, and vilifying good ol' marijuana. Smoke 'em if you got 'em and we'll see you there!
A gradient background of orange and yellow with green marijuana leaves of various sizes placed haphazardly, as if the very hot blonde who made this isn't a graphic designer by trade, but instead a talented amateur who tries her best. Text in rainbow rave letters reads "Vilification Tennis Gets High" with black text in a groovy font below it reading "Sunday 4/20 6:30pm Strike Theater." The image makes you feel good and also a little giggly, probably because it was made by such a funny and also capable girl; and she does it for free, can you believe it? If you read this far, you're the real hero.
