Zombie Prom at Center Stage Theatre

Center Stage Theatre in Shelton will present “Zombie Prom” from November 1-3.

This professionally-staged production features actors in grades 9-12.

This girl-loves-ghoul rock ‘n’ roll Off Broadway musical is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee’s heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.

Join us pre-show and brave the Haunted Hallway: a scary-but-not-too-scary 25 feet of pure terror (not really!), where shadows lurk and thrilling surprises await. Can you handle the chills while collecting goodies from the mysterious characters? Perfect for the young teen in all of us.
