A Kickstarter project has been created to help the creators of Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera to raise funds necessary to adapt their production to its new location, the Eddy Theater at Chatham University.  Through this Kickstarter project, funds raised will go to support the need for rental of a video projector, screen, and wireless microphones for the lead cast.

We will be performing songs from The Zombie Opera this Saturday, March 26th, at “Osteotomy“, a mask art show put together by our “weapons and limbs sponsor”, Specter Studios.

A mask modification show featuring Specter Studios’ talented Pittsburgh artists. Each artist was given a latex Fractured skull mask unpainted. They had complete freedom to transform the masks according to their own personal vision.  March 25 and 26 at ModernFormations Gallery in Lawrenceville.

Art show runs Friday 3/25, 7 to 10 pm and Saturday 3/26, 8 to 11 pm. Zombie Opera songs performed on Saturday at 9pm.

It is official! We are happy to announce that Rock Bottom Brewery has agreed to be our Beer Sponsor for our spring 2011 run.  We’re very excited about this allegiance!

“Our beers range in style from an Pale Ale and Light Lager to a Brown and Amber Ale. We also brew many specialty and seasonal beers, all crafted by Brewmaster, Steve Panos using his original recipes.”

Ever wanted your house to be in a movie, or part of a multimedia opera backdrop?  As part of preparation for our upcoming May performance our video production team plans to re-shoot part of the “Last Call” party sequence.

We are seeking a large open space, ideally a living room or party room inside a house, where we can film one continuous take of a party taking place. We plan to film this shot the weekend of April 16/17.  The shoot will take one day.  Any suggestions or recommendations please contact Evan Miller, our Production Artist/Location Scout, with any information! Thanks!

Last October we played seven performances to a sold out theater. Afraid you missed it? Well, winter is over… the snow is melting… and the zombies are back!

Tickets for our May 6-7, 2011 run are now available! Visit our Order Tickets page for more info!
