Zombies Wanted For New England Premiere of “Night of the Living Dead, The Musical”

The time has come to rise from the shadows and take center stage in the New England premiere of Night of the Living Dead: The Musical!

Based on the iconic 1968 movie, this fun and fright-filled musical will rock your world and shake your bones with its infectious tunes and zombie antics. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or new to the stage, this is your chance to shine in a show that’s guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

The cast is almost complete, but we need more zombies and ensemble members! We’re on the hunt for bold, different, and dramatically incorrect talent to bring this thrilling production to life. Get ready to sing your heart out, dance like there’s no tomorrow, and unleash your inner zombie in a musical extravaganza that’s as spooky as it is spectacular!

So, what are you waiting for? Dust off those dancing shoes, warm up those vocal cords, and come be a part of something truly great. The stage is set, the lights are ready, and we can’t wait to see you bring the undead to life!

Show dates are Friday-Sunday, October 11-13 and October 18-20 at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts, 1A North Rd, Chelmsford, MA 01824.

Delights At The Maritime Dock

I love taking random walks down to the Maritime Gloucester pier and dock. It changes each and every time and you never know what you will see. This time it’s the donation of a small boat currently sitting there just waiting. (It’s a beauty). When people ask for recommendations during my shift at the Welcome Center at Stage Fort Park, I ALWAYS suggest they go down to the Maritime Gloucester museum and pier. No matter the makeup of the visitors: families with young children, young couples, retired folks all would enjoy stopping by. If you haven’t been there in a while, put it on your list.

Go To Harbor 9 Sports Bar and Golf and get yourself a $5 Teddy Smash Burger
