Although countless creepy creatures have chilled and captivated audiences over the years, it is impossible to deny the overwhelming popularity of the zombie. Since George A. Romero\u2019s horror classic <\/span>Night of The Living Dead <\/span><\/i>first terrified viewers back in 1968, the world has been infected with zombie fever. I do not think it\u2019s a stretch to say that most of us have discussed with friends, or at least daydreamed about our plans in the event of a zombie apocalypse. That is, which locations can be easily fortified, where to find rations, which weapons are the most effective, and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you yet to make your plans, or looking for inspiration, the Fouke High School Drama Department has the perfect production to kick-start a brainstorming session. Don Zolidis\u2019 <\/span>10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse<\/span><\/i> is a\"\"<\/a> hilarious and helpful field guide for navigating an Undead Armageddon. Consisting of ten short skit-like segments that demonstrate handy hints for staying alive, this silly and spooky show is sure to tickle your funny bone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Josh \u201cCoach\u201d Jones chose this show in the spirit of the Halloween season, allowing the kids to let loose with something \u201cquick and fun\u201d before they start on their heavier and more intense shows. Unlike many productions in which the dialogue is set in stone and actors don\u2019t get any say in their costumes, Jones has given his actors a higher degree of creative control. In this production, the actors were in charge of designing their own costumes, and improvisation has been encouraged (which I am told includes many references to classic zombie flicks). Although most of the actors are in high school, FHS has a tradition of casting elementary and middle school students in the spirit of inclusivity. This cast of eighteen consists of seasoned FHS Drama Department veterans, as well as fresh meat.<\/span><\/p>\n
