Great Minds Eat Alike

Presented by Youth Theatre 1

Welcome to a world where humans, vegetables, and animals live happily side by side, and everything is taken literally. When it rains cats and dogs, it really does rain cats and dogs. In the play there is an unusual town which is famous for its picture gallery, but everything will soon change when zombies from the Titanic suddenly arrive through a mysterious portal. After all, the grass is always greener on the other side… or is it? As the zombies try to settle into their new home (and start eating the locals’ potatoes), everyday life becomes anything but normal. After five years of attempting to get along, the town has finally had enough. Can everyone learn to live together, or will they find a way to return life to how it once was?
