Zombies gather to march down the streets of Chicago.

New Millennium Theatre Company Brings Zombies Home for the Holidays.
Fun Family Christmas will NOT be ruined by some silly “apocalypse”.

On December 2, Christmas is coming and the zombies are getting fat this Holiday Season as New Millennium Theatre Company (NMTC) decks the halls with a salute to George Romero in Silent Night of the Living Dead,an original play by NMTC company members Sean Harklerode and Chad Wise. It’s the perfect holiday distraction for anyone that has stifled an uncomfortable laugh or tried to hide behind a water glass or slink under the table to avoid being criticized for their life choices while passing the mashed potatoes.

Barbara Cooper is home from college and she’s brought her new man-friend Ben to meet her family. And Mr. Cooper will be DAMNED if some zombie apocalypse nonsense is going to get in the way of Mrs. Cooper’s perfect Cooper Family Christmas—even if he finds himself with an insatiable craving for brains! It’s a race against the kitchen timer as the Zombies close in, threatening everyone’s Christmas cheer.  What will become of Barbara’s family?  Can Ben save Christmas??  Will the turkey be dry??? Grab the nearest blunt instrument, and gather under the mistletoe to find out on the Silent Night of the Living Dead!

For the past five years, NMTC has been producing its unique brand of Fa-la-la-la-la with the type of holiday fare that stands out like The David Bowie Christmas Special 1977 and Sinta Claus City. NMTC, also no stranger to horror parody, brings a combination that pleases its long time fans along with the holiday theatergoer looking for a little spike in their holiday nog. Writer Sean Harklerode (Plans 1-8 from Outer Space) explains  “This show started out with a simple premise:  What if Night of the Living Dead happened on Christmas Eve?  Many of us wind up sleep walking through the holidays.  So, what’s the difference between that and a bunch of zombies? Aside from the brain eating?” NMTC Artistic Director, co-writer and veteran director Chad Wise (Evil Dead The Musical!, Boomstick!, Sinta Claus City, Villains, ) adds “This show appealed to me because the idea of a family trying desperately to retain the veneer of a perfect traditional Christmas through enormous odds seemed like the kind of  shared human experience I could sink my teeth into. As if a drunken guest, an overbearing matriarch, and an inappropriate encounter between the man of the house and the next-door good-time girl weren’t enough, 2/3 of the Cooper children are now more interested in brains than the Roast Beast. Harklerode adds, “Plus, there’s a talking snowman and lots of guts and brains.  Wonderful, wonderful brains. “

Silent Night of the Living Deadwill run December 2 through December 18 with performances on Fridays at 10:00 PM, Saturdays at 11:00 PM, Sundays at 5:00 PM with special performances on December 29-30 at 8:00PM at Theater Wit (1229 W. Belmont Chicago IL). Tickets are $18 Fri-Sat, $15 on Sundays.412 Industry tickets are available for Sunday performances. There is a $2 discount with the donation of a non-perishable food item. A limited number of half price tickets are available through goldstar.com and Hottix. For more information or to purchase tickets call 773-975-8150 or visit www.nmtchicago.org.

Hey all you zombie enthusiasts and Chicago Rot fans! Chicago Rot (the indie rock n roll horror thriller feature) is shooting a chase scene through the legendary Liar’s Club bar on November 16th at 8pm. We need to pack the house with zombies and have a wild zombie party for the sequence so we are having an open invite for everyone and all that are into dressing up like the undead and also would like to actually be in a movie! Scott Lucas (Local H) and James Kimball ( The Jesus Lizard, Mule, Laughing Hyenas) will be performing a Local H hit, “Everyone Alive” while the chase scene unfolds.

In celebration of the release of Martin Mundt’s REANIMATED AMERICANS, Creeping Hemlock Press is pleased to announce THE ZOMBIE CENSUS.

If you said “Yes” to any of these questions, you should know that speaking responses aloud to internet questionnaires is actually unnecessary! And also that this contest is for you… They want to count you among the living dead!

It’s simple: email them a photo of yourself as a zombie, DMV/photo ID style, just like the pics on this page. You can use make-up or Photoshop or both (but please, none of those silly zombie apps—show some creativity).

New Millennium Theatre Company (the theater company that brought you Boomstick! A Musical Parody of Darkness, The Texas Chainsaw Musical, and Manos: Rock Opera of Fate) presents Silent Night of the Living Dead a stage parody of the George A. Romero classic Night of the Living Dead. Just because there is a zombie apocalypse doesn’t mean we can’t be civil at Christmas time.  We are seeking volunteers to perform as the “zombies.”  We are looking for actors with their own zombie makeup and costumes and character to commit to any or all performances of the show. We would need you for a couple nights during tech week and then ideally every night of the show but a split schedule can be made if we have enough interest- we need about 6 or so zombies a night. There are no lines involved, nothing to memorize, simply looking for great zombie characters to wander the stage and try to eat the brains of the family as they desperately attempt to hang onto the Christmas spirit.  If you are interested in ruining Christmas with your zombie awesomeness, please contact our Zombie Wrangler at silentnight@nmtchicago.org
