Playhouse Merced to Present NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

Based on one of the most popular horror movies of all time, Night of the Living Dead tells the story you recognize but with a slight comedic twist. When 7 strangers stumble upon the same farmhouse after being attacked by creatures that are returning to life, they must work together to survive the zombie outbreak. Part multi-media but ALL live! Well, sorta...
