Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera

Winter approaches, grant final reviews and reports fine-tuned, discussions about the future are in progress, and the reviews keep on coming! The Tribune Review recently interviewed one of our artistic directors, Liz Rishel, in their Personality Test section, featuring a photo by Amul Kumar. In addition, Gores Truly, “a fem-driven horror site”, posted its review of our press performance in “The Zombie Opera – Pittsburgh” by Boris.

It’s been about two weeks since our last Zombie Opera performance, and we are still insanely happy with how well everything went. Countless thanks to all who participated in the project, without you this would not be possible!

As we are slowly climbing out of the aftermath that is follow-up paperwork, we are happy to inform you that we have taken our fans suggestions into consideration and in addition to planning this as an annual October event we are also beginning to work out the details of doing an extra performance in Spring 2011.

Please do stay tuned via this website, our Facebook Fan Page, and our Twitter for more information as it comes!

The show may be over, but the reviews keep on coming:) Thank you all for such a great response to our first show, definitely aiding us in our decision to do it all again next year!
