[NEohioPAL] "Zombies From The Beyond" playing at Ashtabula Arts Center

[Pamela Hammond]

G. B. Community Theatre's zany Halloween production of "Zombies from the
Beyond" will stage its final two performances at the Ashtabula Arts Center
tonight and tomorrow, Oct. 17 & 18, at 8 p.m.

In this musical comedy by James Valcq, the laughs abound in the unlikeliest
of settings as the Cold War and space race paranoia threaten the good folks
at the fictional Milwaukee Space Center in 1955! The budding romance of
rocket scientist Trenton Corbett and Mary Malone-the daughter of the Space
Center commander-is jeopardized when a flying saucer lands in Milwaukee,
piloted by the alien "Zombina" who is bent on procuring he-specimens to
re-populate her planet. Can Mary uphold her lady-like demeanor while saving
Milwaukee from a Red Menace and a flying saucer invasion? Can the stalwart
men of Milwaukee survive brainwashing by a musical menace from another
world?  Taking its cue from pulp movies popular at the time, "Zombies from
the Beyond" brings the 1950s nostalgically and hilariously to life with a
tuneful, toe-tapping score!

Directed by Clay Nielsen of Madison.  Produced by special arrangement with
Dramatists Play Services, Inc.
