Night of the Living Dead - Dallas Children's Theater

Night of the Living Dead at Dallas Children’s Theater, October 17 – 31, 2014

You can’t keep a good zombie down! DCT’s Halloween tradition rises again! They’re back…they’re dead…and they’re hungry….The cult classic Night of the Living Dead returns to the DCT stage!  Radiation from a fallen satellite transforms the dead into flesh-eating zombies, and no one is safe. It’s the 1968 black and white, B-movie horror classic brought to life (figuratively speaking)! Full of thrills, chills, and dark satire,  Night of the Living Dead is intended for an audience of teens and adults, 13 years old and above.  The production contains strong language and situations and is not suitable for young children.

The decision to enroll your young learner into preschool can be difficult, especially if this is your first preschool experience. If you evaluate your situation and believe it is not a good time for your child and family, it certainly won’t hurt to wait a bit longer for your child to begin preschool.
