“Night of the Living Dead II”

Oct. 26-Nov. 4

Wheeler Art Center

One of the unexpected surprises of last season was the intense straight-faced gore fest, a stage production of “Night of the Living Dead” offered by newcomer Acting Up Productions. This year, in addition to a full season of more conventional fare, such as “Our Town” and “Twelfth Night,” the group returns for a follow-up not for the squeamish. Returnees should note the location shift this year to Fountain Square. Details here.
