Halloween brings all sorts of wonderful entertainment. Haunted houses, wild parties, great television specials, and all sorts of Halloween-themed plays. This year, for the second year in a row, The Bug Theatre is presenting a live staged version of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. You know the story - 7 people trapped in an abandoned farmhouse with a horde of flesh-eating zombies outside. The production is part film and part play, mixed with generous helpings of camp and laughter.

Due to my own involvement in this show (I'm in the cast), our own Creative Arts Examiner, Megan Wedge, agreed to review the show:

"This vibrant, fast-paced production is tightly woven and never drags"

"The characters are all fully fleshed out, played with a gleeful eagerness and hunger."

"If you have a pulse, trust me, you will love this show."
