Zombie: The American
« on: May 19, 2015, 02:02 am »
About to go into tech for a new play, at Woolly Mammoth Theatre in DC. PWYC performances next Monday and Tuesday if you're in the area and interested. (There are also stampede seats and an under-30 discount.) It's a crazy play with a lot of wacky elements - I think it's going to be fun to run.

ZOMBIE: THE AMERICAN
MAY 25–JUNE 21, 2015
BY ROBERT O’HARA  // DIRECTED BY HOWARD SHALWITZ

The year is 2063 and Thom Valentine, the first openly gay President of the United States, faces a host of problems: an imminent civil war, the threat of an African invasion, an adulterous First Gentleman, and zombies in the basement of the White House! With his power, his marriage, and the nation’s well-being at stake, he must decide what he cares most about saving…and at what cost.

From the recesses of Robert O’Hara’s warped imagination comes a classically-inspired sci-fi thriller about a young Commander-in-Chief searching for the strength to hold our union together.

Sounds amazing and bizarre! On a massive tangent, it makes me sad that we'll have to wait another 50 years to get an openly gay President....maybe the UK will be more progressive?!

It's pretty nutty. Interestingly, they are doing a series of "events" tied to the show- a zombie makeup tutorial, panels of zombie experts (which I didn't even know was a thing), a podcast taping, and today's is called "Out of the Closet, Into the Oval: a Summit on LGBTQ Politics".

Zombie experts? I'm curious as to the qualifications?  ???
