EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL Listening Party

October 21 | 7:00pm
Frank Thompson Hall

This edition of our “Out Loud Series” will be a very different experience! We will be hosting a ‘listening party’ for Evil Dead: The Musical by Reinblatt, Cipolla, Bond and Morris. We will do our traditional reading of the text with volunteers from the audience, interspersed with hearing the original cast recording of the music for the full experience.

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero) and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes … and all to music.
