What is this show about?
Fantasy and reality collide in this eclectic and fun musical romp! Emily's having a sleepover with her best friend Stephanie when they discover there's a monster in her closet!

To investigate further (despite the incessant teasing of her big brother and his friends), Emily and Stephanie recruit their friends – sarcastic and skeptical Kelly, vain Mary, studious Brain, tomboy Tara and avid reader Megan – to help capture the monster.

What they don't know is that Murray, the closet monster, doesn't mean any harm. He only wants to play Emily's new video game. He's more scared of kids than they are of him! Murray is on probation since his boss, the Dream King, heard about his goofing off on the job. After all, every monster knows that when a child is born, a monster is assigned to watch over her–not play with her things!

What happens when Emily has all her friends over for a slumber party to try to capture Murray? They end up catching the Dream King and his harried secretary, Toady, instead!

With other wonderfully entertaining characters like Sandy the Sandman and his dream weavers, find out how friendship, ingenuity and a sprinkling of magic lead to a delightful solution to Emily's monster problem.

What is this show about?
Zombie Prom is a campy rollicking horror romp through America’s “Atomic Age” of the 1950s. It’s Grease meets Little Shop of Horrors. This fun and hilarious musical is punctuated with great songs in the style of 50s rock and roll.

Zombie Prom is the tale of a sweet teenage girl named Toffee and the class bad boy-her rebel without a cause boyfriend-Jonny. The two meet at Enrico Fermi High School and fall in love. But their principal, the tyrannical Miss Strict, convinces the indecisive Toffee to break up with Jonny. Tortured by the betrayal, Jonny drives his motorcycle into the nuclear power plant and flings himself into the nuclear cooling tower!

A glowing Jonny returns as a teenage nuclear zombie! He professes his love for Toffee and tells her he wants her back. He plans to clean up his act, finish school and take her to the prom-if she’ll have him. Miss Strict clearly refuses to allow the “zombie scum” into her school. She even threatens to cancel the senior prom if anyone is caught supporting Jonny’s cause. Toffee doesn’t know what to do!

At the same time, a slick sensationalist TV reporter Eddie Flagrante arrives at the school to cover what sounds like a clear cut case of “Zombie Civil Rights”. Upon his arrival at the school we learn he and Miss Strict share a past shrouded in an elusive mystery.

Will Toffee take Jonny back? What mystery do Miss Strict and Eddie Flagrante share? Will Miss Strict cancel the most important night in the lives of the students at Enrico Fermi High?
