Three Full-Length Plays Night Of The Living Dead - Run! Hide! Lock the doors! After a NASA probe contaminated with mysterious radiation crashes to Earth, the recently deceased begin to rise again, and boy are they hungry! They may be out to eat the living, but these walking dead are rampant with wit and sarcasm- certainly a breed above your garden-variety carnivores. Based on the cult classic film by George A. Romero, this zombie-thon is a delightfully skewed send-up of one of the most beloved science fiction genres of all time. Fast-paced and packed with contagious humor, you'll laugh yourself to death over these horrifically and hysterically misunderstood flesh-eating monsters. Dedicated to the zombie in all of us. (Cast: 4F, 4M, Ensemble, Flexible) Plan 9 From Outer Space - This is it! The stage adaptation of Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space, considered by many to be the worst movie ever made! Packing B-Movie thrills into 70 hair-raising minutes, the story goes something like this: visiting space soldiers use a magic-electro-space-ray-gun to resurrect a recently deceased (and perfectly ghoulish) human couple, putting 'Plan 9' into action. The aliens must stop mankind from developing 'Solaramite, ' a substance that could set off a chain reaction of cosmic explosions that would destroy the entire universe. With 'Plan 9' activated, the space aliens step up the action. Flying saucers invade! Hollywood reacts! The Pentagon responds! Even Colonel Sanders tries to stop the aliens and, well, this was absolutely the worst movie ever made. (Cast: 5F, 9M, Ensemble, Flexible) Santa Claus Conquers The Martians - The children of Mars are in trouble! Too much Earth television has made Martian kids everywhere distracted and withdrawn. The leaders have had enough and consult with an 800-year-old Martian sage for an answer. The response? Kidnap Santa and force him to set up a toy factory on Mars. It's up to young Betty and Billy to help Santa escape back to planet Earth in time to save Christmas, but not before they bring laughter, joy, and the Christmas spirit to the children of Mars. Based on one of the "Top 10 Worst Christmas Films Ever Made," this hysterical stage adaptation of the 1964 cult classic film is a baffling mixture of sci-fi, Christmas cheer, and childish slapstick live and on stage! (Cast: 4F, 6M)
