Can’t believe Halloween is almost here and I let these exciting events almost slip through my fingers. But the Exit Theatre is saluting Halloween in a big way – and the good thing is, you can still enjoy it after Halloween!

They are featuring two zombie shows!

“Zombie Town,” which plays on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm through Nov. 7 at the Exit Theatre Stage Left and “Zombie: A New Musical” ends this Saturday at the Exit Theatre.

So you can enjoy flesh-eating ghouls for not much more than the price of a movie ticket! In fact, if you see “Zombie Town” on Halloween and order your ticket from their website, they are only $10.31!

“Zombie Town” tells the story in documentary style the town of Harwood, Texas and how it was forever changed when it was overrun by hordes of flesh-eating undead.


This passed summer, the Catharsis Theatre Collective traveled to the town, interviewed the survivors, and crafted a play using their exact words. When the collective approached us as a producing partner, we jumped at the chance to present this fascinating and surprisingly hilarious story of grit, determination and brain-sucking zombies.

The above is from the press release on the show and sounds like a lot of hype. Yet if you go to the website of Harwood, Texas, this is all confirmed! Check it out at www.harwoodtexas.com.

You can order tickets at http://www.sleepwalkerstheatre.com/tickets.

Then there’s “Zombie: A New Musical.”


“Zombie,” the brain child of daring playwright and director Anthony R. Miller, is going to consume you. This is a fact. It is a work of love, tragedy and epic zombie mayhem that refuses to take no for an answer.
Miller is a performance artist at heart, and over his ten years in the independent arts, he has earned several titles and a reputation as an audacious performance poet. He has a lifelong passion for both the living impaired and theatre, and he has had his teeth sunk squarely into this piece since his studies in Dramaturgy at San Francisco State University.


“Zombie” would not have come so ferociously to life, though, if it were not for the uncompromising talents of composer Brendan West, a veteran of the Shotgun Players and various Berkeley theatre companies.


You can buy tickets for “Zombie: A New Musical” at http://zombiemusicalsf.com/tickets or by calling (415) 433-1235.
