Canyon
Crest Academy Envision Theatre Presents: “Zombie Prom” At
the CCA Black Box Theater October
24, 25, 30, 31 & November 1, 2014
THE
STORY This girl-loves-ghoul rock and roll Off Broadway musical is
set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a
zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad
boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his
motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to
reclaim Toffee's heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants
to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a
scandal-seeking reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. 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. ABOUT
