A quick look backstage of "Zombie Prom," Tower Palers' spring semester production, reveals that it's not your ordinary musical - although one could have gleaned that simply by reading the title and seeing the posters.
"This isn't a realistic play," Zombie Prom director David Griffiths said. "I think everyone will pick that up right away."
Taking place during "some nebulous time in the 1950s," according to Griffiths, "Zombie Prom" takes the conventions of typical period high school musicals like "Grease" and runs with them, often to campy extremes.
