There's blood on my program. At first, I thought it was a printing design, but upon further inspection, I realized that, yes, I have blood stains on my program. Normally, I would be concerned, but given that the first three rows at the Moonlight Players Theatre have been designated 'Splatter Zone,' I didn't think much more of it from the safety of my seventh-row seat. Having played out to sold out crowds in its first and second weeks, Moonlight Players' EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL will end its run this coming post-Halloween weekend. But fear not, Deadites, for you can also catch Ash Williams and his boomstick on a special Halloween performance as well. The hugely-popular Off-Broadway musical condenses Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy into a two-act musical that celebrates the films' subversive comedy take on 1980s gore. And it does so with a gusto and a panache that knows just how ridiculous and trope-heavy the source material is.

In connection with its Random Acts of Kindness Events, Wayman Publishing is featuring Andrew Cyrus Hudson the beginning of May 2013. 'When I felt like giving up,' says author EC Stilson, 'Hudson encouraged me to keep going. He's an author who gives selflessly without asking for anything in return.' Sources even say that Hudson has given Stilson wonderful insights to help her gain a large social media following. And as shown on his blog, his marketing ideas are quite ingenious. For example: Stilson recently won one of Hudson's book contests, and will be written into Hudson's upcoming book as an actual character.
