NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Opens Tonight!! | wssr.org/dead

Six strangers in an abandoned farmhouse, surrounded by brain-eating zombies – what could go wrong?

Night of the Living Dead Live is the official authorized stage production of the landmark George A. Romero film. Set in 1968, the play is a hilarious tribute to the legendary classic! A loving examination of the movie, the time period, and the film’s undying influence on the horror genre.

The film version of Night of the Living Dead was produced at a time of incredible social and political upheaval. The film was met with controversy for featuring an African American protagonist, realistic horror, a controversial ending where… EVERYBODY DIES!!

Public Access Tickets go on sale Thursday, Oct 15th.

COME DRESSED AS A ZOMBIE
Come dressed as a zombie to any performance and get a 2 for 1 at the bar!

HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST
Come dressed in your dead best! On our Halloween performances there will be a contest with prizes for best costumes!

CAST
Dorian Dotson (last seen in Once on this Island at Starlight Theatre) makes his debut as the heroic Ben. Eduardo Galaviz (Thomas R. Gray in Nat Turner In Jerusalem) returns as the cowardly Harry Cooper. Ky Rankin appears in the comedic dual role of Helen and Judy, while newcomers Jessica Harper and Jacob Wise play siblings Barbra and Johnny from the inconic opening scene of the film. Adrian Diaz (last seen as Sister Acacius in Divine Sister) brings his comic genius to the role of Chief McClelland alongside Suzanne Wiegert (last seen at WSSR in Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind) as the chief’s fan-theory generating deputy, Vince.

Night of the Living Dead Live opens just in time for Halloween on October 22— and plays through November 15th.
