Book and Lyrics by Joal Paley. Music by Marvin Laird
Directed by Roy Lewis

Eight year old Tina Denmark knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking and she will do anything to win the part in her school musical. Anything includes murdering the leading lady! This aggressively outrageous musical hit garnered rave reviews during its long Off Broadway run which opened with Brittany Spears in the title role.

"A spoof that has enough absurd plot twists and multiple identities to fill several old movies.... The fun comes from the sheer brazenness!"--- N.Y. Times.
"Hilarious.... It is beyond praise!"-- N.Y. Daily News.
"Wild amusement."-- New York Post.

 

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Camp (Zcamp)
October 13-15, 18-22, 25-29

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Boot Camp (Zcamp) The rest of the world is being ravaged by a pandemic, but Augusta is weathering the disaster. Why? With I-20 locked by abandon vehicles and Atlanta (and its airport) in ruins, Augusta was quickly isolated from contaminated visitors. Fortunately, the silver-lining to all of Augusta's pollution problems is that Augustans have bolstered immune systems and were resistant to contagions. Our outbreaks have been few and easily contained. Now we must prepare to defend Augusta against the world, and hopefully have this problem solved in time for the Masters. Are you prepared? Come get some! Get trained to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Join us this Halloween season for a bit of macabre fun as Le Chat Noir produces its first Haunted Attraction. If you thought you were close to the stage before, this interactive theatre puts the audience into the show. We're breaking from the conventional theatrics and creating a walk-through play, that will require the audience to participate. There will be games to play, skits to watch and participate in, and a fright-filled, ever-changing labyrinth.

Black Cat Ball is Oct 29th @ 10pm. Our 4th annual Halloween party. Come party with the cast & crew of Zcamp. There will be a DJ, libations & victuals, costume contest, and more.

Becky Shaw
February 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18
By Gina Gionfriddo
Directed by Doug Joiner

"Gina Gionfriddo's comedy of bad manners, a tangled tale of love, sex and ethics among a quartet of men and women in their thirties, is as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage from its first moments to its last…deftly plotted, scabrous and sharp-witted…One of the great pleasures of BECKY SHAW is the way the moral ground keeps shifting underneath your feet." —NY Times. "The characters in Gionfriddo’s blind-date-gone-bad black comedy share the potential to revolt … They’re also subversively funny — and improbably charming. Grade: A." —Entertainment Weekly. "…scathing, class-conscious comedy…BECKY SHAW exerts a hypnotic pull, thanks in large part to the wonderfully witty dialogue and complex characterizations." —NY Post. "Blithely cynical and devastatingly funny…witty observations on the emotional damage inflicted by neurotic people in the name of love…Gionfriddo is some kind of genius." —Variety. "The perfect nourishment for theatergoers starved for a dramatic conflagration or two…Gionfriddo's creations talk with rat-tat-tat ferocity…the laughs flow freely." —Associated Press.
