Midnight performance on Oct. 31

The zombies are here! CSU STAGE, in conjunction with the CSU Dramatic Arts Program, will present a cult classic just in time for Halloween -- Night of the Living Dead, adapted for the stage by Dramatic Arts students John Paul Soto and James Kosmatka.

The stage production at the CSU Factory Theatre is entirely student-generated, featuring student actors, designers, directors and administrators. Directors John Paul Soto and James Kosmatka are pulling out all the stops, with a provocative, in-your-face, multimedia production.*

With inspirations ranging from Antonin Artaud to Fritz Lang to Sam Raimi, Soto and Kosmatka are crafting an exciting new take on the classic thriller.

Night of the Living Dead runs for only six performances:

• October 24 and 25, 10 p.m.
• October 31 and November 1, 8 p.m.
• October 31, 11:59 p.m.
• November 2, 7 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for students, seniors and CSU faculty/staff. For ticket reservations, please call the box office at 216.687.2109. Tickets may also be purchased one-half hour before show time.

The Factory Theatre is located at 1833 East 24th Street, between Chester and Payne Avenues. For more information, please visit www.csuohio.edu/theater. Free parking is located off East 24th Street between Chester and Payne avenues.
