This April and May, please join Eldritch Theatre as it mounts its largest production to date: Zombocalypse! Created by Eric Woolfe, this social satire mixes Romero’s Night of the Living Dead with Hughes’s The Breakfast Club to take aim at societal prejudices, xenophobia, and our horrifying tendency to polarize and turn against those different from us when looming disasters demand we pull together to survive. Don't worry, the play mixes live actors with Eldritch Theatre's iconic puppets and masks, and of course, there will be parlour magic.

PLAY SYNOPSIS:

The Dead rise from their graves to feast on the flesh of the living in a suburban high school in 1985. A jock, a brain, a rebel, a preppie and a basket-case barricade themselves in their school cafeteria to fend off the gathering hordes of their hungry, undead friends, only to discover that their real enemies are each other.

It’s totally The Breakfast Club, but, like, with Zombies.
