Wagon Wheel Jr. Announces Halloween Show, Open House
WARSAW — Wagon Wheel Jr., the youth theatre branch of Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, presents its 2016 Halloween show “Zombie Night” at 2 p.m this Saturday and Sunday.
Each performance will be preceded by an open house at 12:30 p.m. The open house events will feature games, face painting, prizes and a costume contest, and is free with a ticket to the show.
This doo-wopping musical pays great tribute to classic horror flicks like “Night of the Living Dead,” “The Return of the Living Dead” and “Cemetery High.” Howie, Louise, Gary and Phoebe are in charge of “Zombie Night,” the annual senior class party. They locate an abandoned farmhouse by an old graveyard, once occupied by the creepy, crawly Dr. Thanatos, who tried to re-animate the dead. Vivian and Anne show up, determined to destroy the party. Enter a grim farmer who warns the kids that it’s dangerous to stay. The audience soon discovers why—zombies! While the decorations go up, the zombies shuffle from the graveyard. It’s zombies versus students as the spoof races to its finale.
Tickets to the show are $12 and are available online, over the phone at (574) 267-8041 or in person at the box office at 2515 E. Center Street in Warsaw.
