Evil Dead: the Musical at Downriver Actors Guild

Evil Dead Lives Again(Wyandotte, Mich. - September 24, 2019) Witness Downriver Actors Guild - Theatre on the Edge as they bring back to the stage Evil Dead: the Musical to life for two blood-soaked weekends. The musical, based on the Sam Raimi Evil Dead trilogy, combines all three movies into an unforgettable night of chainsaws, demons, and plenty of laughs.This tale begins, as horror stories often do, in an abandoned cabin in the woods. A group of college students on a weekend break into an abandoned cabin in the woods to raise a little hell. They accidentally recite a passage from the Book of the Dead and unleash an evil force that threatens to turn them all into demons. When the limbs start flying, its up to Ash with his trusty chainsaw and one-liners to save the day. The slap-stick comedy and rock-n-roll score flip the horror genre on its head.
