MCTG Presents Plan 9 From Outer Space & Night of the Living Dead
Saturday, November 7th, 7:30pm
Sunday, November 8th, 2pm
First, in Act I: Plan 9 From Outer Space: This is it! The stage adaptation of Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space, considered by many to be the worst movie ever made! The story goes something like this: visiting space soldiers use a magic-electro-space-ray-gun to resurrect a recently deceased (and perfectly ghoulish) human couple, putting Plan 9 into action. With Plan 9 activated, the space aliens step up the action. Flying saucers invade! Hollywood reacts! The Pentagon responds! Even Colonel Sanders tries to stop the aliens and, well, this was absolutely the worst movie ever made.
Then, in Act II: Night of the Living Dead: Run! Hide! Lock the doors! After a NASA probe contaminated with mysterious radiation crashes to Earth, the recently deceased begin to rise again, and boy are they hungry! They may be out to eat the living, but these walking dead are rampant with wit and sarcasm- certainly a breed above your garden-variety undead. Based on the cult classic film by George A. Romero, this zombie-thon is a delightfully skewed send-up of one of the most beloved science fiction genres of all time.
