ZOMBIE ATTACK Comes to Alexander Upstairs

The TERROR! ... the terror of being called in front of the class. Hypercreative Gaëtan stretches this all too familiar moment-in-time into an apocalyptic zombie nightmare. Schmid is back at his best; furiously miming to a thrilling soundtrack of 101 movies... all without leaving his little chair.

To all movie fans out there: this one is for you!

To all non-movie fans: this one is for you!
