the balance, the students must sing, dance, and fight
their way through the apocalypse - because for the
zombies to go, they must put on a show."

theater and zombies are our passion, so this is a
no-brainer. Thrilled to be bringing this silly, joyful,
camp, and fun microseries to life, or...death with this
incredible team."
