Performances run March 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m., March 13 at 2:00 p.m.
By: Stephi Wild Mar. 08, 2022
It's the 1950s with a strict principal, a pretty girl named Toffee, and a glowing leading man. Literally. When the pretty girl's family forces her to cut off her relationship with the "bad boy," he drives his motorcycle to the local nuclear waste dump. When he comes back to reclaim Toffee's heart, the principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on the story. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of '50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage in the Hastings College Department of Music and Theatre's production of "Zombie Prom."
"Zombie Prom," based on a story by John Dempsey and Hugh Murphy, with music by Dana P. Rowe and lyrics by John Dempsey, will be presented at Scott Studio Theatre March 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m., March 13 at 2:00 p.m.
