NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is the best annual Halloween tradition in Denver. Back for a ninth bloody year, the theme for 2017 is SCI FI.

SEE... Venusian Vixens create an army of the UNDEAD!

SEE... Ravenous Ghouls unleashed on an unsuspecting Earth!

SEE... Seven survivors fight for their lives!

In.... Night of the Living Dead... Sci Fi!

This year's show is dedicated to the memory of George Romero, King of the Zombie Genre, creator of the original 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.

About the show: Sexy Venusian alienettes create an army of the undead to wipe out humanity, in a plot to take over the Earth and plunder its resources. All while your favorite classic characters are trapped in the famous farmhouse, surrounded by flesh-eating ghouls. As always, Night of the Living Dead... Live! On Stage! includes several sequences re-created and shot by Paper Cat Films, creating a truly unique blend of live stage action and video zombie madness. Said Director/Adaptor Kris Hipps, "I've been a zombie fan since the first time I saw the original 'Night of the Living Dead' as a kid and immediately started thinking about ways to barricade our house in case of a zombie attack."


Featuring the talents of: Joseph Graves as Ben, Karin Carr as Barbara, Erik Thurston as Johnny, Veronica Straight-Lingo as Judy, Seth Harris as Tom, Janine Kehlenbach as Helen, Todd Black as Harry, Deb Flomberg as Karen and Kris Hipps, Hannah Carmichael, Matt Schultz, Matt Jaramillo, Kevin Rollins, Alex Weimer and Aran Peters as the hoard of zombies, reporters and other unsuspecting victims.

"this play's still got a lot of heart, and you can't help but empathize with the characters as zombies creep up on them unawares -- till they get their hearts ripped out." - Chris Meehan, Westword
