PUTNAM — They’re back and so are we! Zombies are pretty hard to chase away, and a great theater company is hard to keep down. TNECT at the Bradley Playhouse returns to live theater when it presents Night of the Living Dead, opening Oct. 15.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 17, 24 and 31. Tickets are $21 for adults and $17 for seniors and students. All seats are reserved. Reservations: www.thebradleyplayhouse.org or 860-928-7887. Tickets may be purchased at the theater box office, either before the performance, or at the door if available. Purchasing your tickets ahead of time is always a good idea.
It has been a long year and a half since actors invited theater lovers into a world that they created onstage. All of us at the Bradley Playhouse are excited to welcome you back. Things may be a little different, but the power of the stage remains the same.
In keeping with the Bradley tradition of presenting something a little spooky in October, we are pleased to bring you Night of the Living Dead, written by John F. Carroll. . The unburied dead return to life and seek human victims. Seven refugees seek shelter in a house in the Pennsylvania countryside, but the group is at odds as to how they should deal with the situation.
The TNECT performance of Night of the Living Dead is directed by Jeremy Woloski. Timothy Corbett appears as Ben and Tara Golson is Barbara. The Coopers, Harry, Helen and Karen are played by Vincent Chaisson, Maegen Kelley and Lily Quinn. Alex Gardner is Tom and Ella Woloski appears as Judy. They are supported by a motley collection of townspeople, news reporters, and, dare we say it, Zombies.
 The Bradley Playhouse is following the COVID-19 protocol accepted by most local entertainment venues. All will show their vaccination card and wear an approved face mask in the theater. The theater itself will be deep cleaned before and after the performance.
