Leslie meets Michael in “Zombie Apocalypse,” an online role-playing game where the human race is under attack and anyone can be anyone with the ease of a single click. Their bond over a mutual enemy quickly turns into a game-playing partnership, but when a video game convention brings them face-to-face in real life, they find that fighting zombies is far less complicated than human connection.

From the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Director: Andy Callis
Feb. 21-23 and Feb. 28- March 1, 2025 – Black Box Theatre
