Live theatre is back! CF Theatre and Musical Theatre will present “Back on Stage: An Evening of Musicals and Zombies” on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 5-6, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 7, at 3 p.m., in the Dassance Fine Arts Center.
The performance will include four 10-Minute Musicals: “A Most Average Musical,” book and lyrics by Jonathan Keebler and music by Bob Kelly; “The Hipster Sister” by Andy Roninson; “Pellets, Cherries, and Lies” by Erik Przytulski; and “Any Ordinary Sunday” by Joshua L. Mazur. Students will also perform the one-act play “10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse” by Don Zolidis.
“A Most Average Musical” finds college freshman Jenny spending her first Friday night at college alone. “The Hipster Sister,” set in Brooklyn in 2015, is the story of Chelsea, who’s fed up with her slacker singer-songwriter sister and roommate. “Pellets, Cherries, and Lies” takes a look at addiction through the life of a video game golden boy struggling to keep his family together while dealing with late-night binges. “Any Ordinary Sunday” is the work of Florida singer, composer and musician Joshua L. Mazur.
The comedy “10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse” invites the audience to consider what to do when it’s the end of the world and hordes of rampaging zombies are about to attack.
Tickets are free and no advance reservations are required. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
