Night of the Living Dead Theatre Hike at The Morton Arboretum October 1, 2011

Just in time for spooky season, “Night of the Living Dead” is this month’s theatre hike! In this campy horror classic, zombies rise from their graves and take over the world. Six junior high and high school youth from Chicago and local communities appear in each performance as extras in the “zombie chorus!” Watch the wacky weirdness unfold when a group of unfortunate people penned up in an isolated house fight back. Every theatre-hike presents a different scene at a new location on the Arboretum grounds. Audience members walk to each location to enjoy the unfolding story. Regular hikes, which can cover up to two miles with multiple stops along the way, are on Saturdays, and low-impact hikes (suitable for strollers, walkers and wheelchairs) are on Sundays. Individual show tickets $13 - $19 (discounts for Arboretum members). Purchase tickets: at 630-725-2066, www.mortonarb.org or in person at the Visitor’s Center. Suitable for ages 13 and up, due to brain munching monsters. Thornhill Education Center.
Weekends in October and Columbus Day: 3 p.m.
