Theatre Night

Join us for a special Blue Star Card Sunday

Matinee performance of Army Community

Theatre’s production of the musical comedy

Zombie Prom on Sunday, October 31. This ‘girl

loves ghoul’ rock and roll Off Broadway musical

is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High,

where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical

principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for

the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her

to end the romance, and he charges off on

his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He

returns glowing and determined to reclaim

Toffee’s heart. He still wants to graduate, but

most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom.

The principal orders him to drop dead while a

scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du

 jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful

selection of original songs in the style of 50s

hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.

Curtain call is at 3:00 pm. Enjoy free pupus prior

to the show and transportation. Limited child

care will be provided. We will also be having a

costume contest so be sure to dress up! Spaces

are limited. Please call 655-0002 or emailSarah.Chadwick@us.army.mil by October 22.
