ABOUT THE SHOW: For those who don't know, this hilarious live stage show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films, Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness then combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time. Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons are telling bad jokes... and all to music.

There is a possibility the production may be extended through October 13th - we will let the cast know as soon as possible.

The songs in the show are completely off the wall as well. Titles like "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" and "What the F*@k was That" will have you rolling in your seats, and screaming for more and more blood. You don't need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don't need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don't even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun... this show is for you. AVAILABLE ROLES: ASH: College student; male; baritone. CHERYL: College student; female; alto. ANNIE: Mid-twenties; female; alto. Actor playing ANNIE may also play SHELLY LINDA: College student; female; soprano. SCOTT: College student; male; tenor. ED: Mid-twenties; male; bass. Actor playing ED may also play MOOSE JAKE: Mid-thirties; male; baritone. FAKE SHEMP: Male. This role is basically all of the small roles in the show - the severed hand, the headless body, etc.
