EVIL DEAD - The Musical this September at Warner Stage

Back by popular demand! The Warner Stage Company is excited to once again present EVIL DEAD - THE MUSICAL in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre September 24-October 2!

Based on Sam Raimi's 80's cult classic films, EVIL DEAD - THE MUSICAL tells the tale of five college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force. And although it may sounds like a horror, it's not! The songs are hilariously campy and the show is bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, "camp" takes on a whole new meaning.

Prepare to get bloody in our SPLATTER ZONE! Contains adult language and situations, viewer discretion is advised. EVIL DEAD - THE MUSICAL is directed by Keith Paul with Music Director MEric Martin and Choreographer Sharon A. Wilcox. Performances are Saturday, September 24 & October 1 at 8:00 pm,Sunday, September 25 & October 2 at 2:00 pm and Friday, September 30 at 8:00 pm. To purchase tickets, call the Warner Box Office at 860-489-7180 or visit warnertheatre.org.

Built by Warner Brothers Studios and opened in 1931 as a movie palace (1,772 seats), the Warner Theatre was described then as "Connecticut's Most Beautiful Theatre." Damaged extensively in a flood, the Warner was slated for demolition in the early 1980s until the non-profit Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts (NCAA) was founded and purchased the theatre. The Warner reopened as a performing arts center in 1983, and restoration of the main lobbies and auditorium was completed in November 2002. In 2008, the new 50,000 square foot Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center, which houses a 300 seat Studio Theatre, 200 seat restaurant and expansive school for the arts, was completed. Today, the Warner is in operation year-round with more than 160 performances and 100,000 patrons passing through its doors each season. Over 10,000 students, pre K-adult, participate in arts education programs and classes. Together, with the support of the community, the Warner has raised close to $17 million to revitalize its facilities. NCAA's mission is to preserve the Warner Theatre as an historic landmark, enhance its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and a focal point of community involvement, and satisfy the diverse cultural needs of the region.
