NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD - THE MUSICAL 
Adapted by: Thomas Hoagland 
Directed by: Thomas Hoagland 
A Sunday afternoon drive to visit their mother’s grave sight turns into a ridiculous, blood covered sing along.  
The Dead have risen from their graves in search of human flesh… again. This classic Horror scenario has been “dug up” many times before, but this re-animation has been amplified with a shot of high voltage Rock and Roll. It’s Bloodier than Trick or Treat, It’s much sillier than open mike night, and it will have you standing in the isles singing along, all the while being offended by political and religious stereotypes. In short, it’s CAMP. You won’t know who to cheer for, the “Dead” or the “So-Called-Living”. WARNING: Those audience members with heart conditions and/or high moral standards WILL BE EATEN FIRST!!!

DRACULARAMA
By: Jason St. Sauver 
Directed by: Jason St. Sauver 
DRACULARAMA is a new multimedia theatre creation by Jason St. Sauver and Alternative Theatre Machine (ATM). Combining scraps and sections of text from Bram Stoker’s novel with clips from various film versions of the story, and melding fractions of fact and fiction from vampire lore from history to present day pop culture clichés, DRACULARAMA is neither a common “tale of the undead” nor an average “night out at the theatre” type play. With a cast of 10 actors, 5 cell phones, 3 laptops, 2 palm pilots, 1 hand held tape recorder and a huge video screen, DRACULARAMA is like a crazy music video to attack and attract you with sound, sight, fright and blissfully sleepless nights.
