3rd Act is sad to announce that our previous fall selection of Starmites will not be produced, but in it’s place will be the fun and zany:

Zombie Prom

Music by Dana P. Rowe
Book and Lyrics by John Dempsey
Based on a Story by John Dempsey and Hugh Murphy

Directed and Music Directed by Derek T. Pickens

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.

The final ballot (out May19th) will contain all the categories, including some special awards for outstanding achievement.

3rd Act is so excited to celebrate the 2009- 2010 Season of the School of Performing Arts and to applaud all the extraordinary efforts it takes to produce, build, run and perform in the shows.
