The Twilight Zone: Live! Returns to Theater Schmeater, 5/16

The Twilight Zone: Live! returns to the comfy confines of Theater Schmeater, presenting three classic episodes from the iconic television series promises to pluck at heartstrings, bemuse with dry irony, and terrify by innocence.

Presented for you consideration are three memorable Rod Serling scripts.

"I Shot an Arrow into the Air" (first broadcast on June 15th 1960) Eager to open the boundaries of the final frontier, the fledgling Space Age promised discovery and danger as man took his first hesitant steps into the universe. An elegant reminder that perception and reality often only meet in the Twilight Zone, this first season episode serves as a reminder that even in space, Man can not escape his nature.

"It's a Good Life" ( first broadcast on November 3, 1961 ) Childhood can be a blessed thing, full of wonder and innocent adventure, when the distinction between good and bad is drawn with a broad stroke. But untempered by experience or compassion, and mixed with unlimited power, childhood can be terrifying.

"The Night of the Meek" ( first broadcast on December 23, 1960) The promise of Christmas Cheer often rings a hollow note to the denizens of Skid Row. But for one unfortunate, belief offers miracles in this tale that will soften the heart of the cynic, and delight the dreamer in us all.
