The Head That Wouldn't Stay Dead: The Musical October 28, 2011

The musical that takes you on the twisted road of love...

What do you get when you mix a campy horror film and re-vamped versions of songs that everyone knows? You get The Head That Wouldn't Stay Dead: The Musical. The brainchild of Writer-Director Bob Baker at Renaissance Theatre, this new horror musical is going to kill you with talent, laughter and its unforgettable songs.

The plot centers on mad-scientist cum M.D., Dr. Mitch, who loses his gorgeous girlfriend, Penny, in a terrible car accident on the way for a weekend at his country estate (that just happens to have a Dr. Frankenstein-type laboratory in the basement). Dr. Mitch rescues the head of Penny and takes it to his laboratory, where he manages to keep her head alive. Penny is none too happy being a head on a platter, so Dr. Mitch starts looking for body-donor candidates. Hysterically funny antics ensue. This play is the perfect Halloween entertainment. Several thrills, not too many chills.

Opening October 28-29 at 7:30pm, the show also runs on October 30 at 2:30, November 3-5 at 7:30pm, and October 6 at 2:30pm on Renaissance Theatre's Alpha Stage; ticket are $15. Dinner Theatre is scheduled for October 29 at 6:00pm with the show to follow directly after at 7:30pm. Tickets for Dinner Theatre (which includes both dinner and show are $36, reservations required). Call (256) 536-3117.

You'll be screaming... with laughter!
