8 W, 3 M, 1 Any (11-40 actors possible: 8-25 W, 3-15 M)
Set: The minimal set and backstage area of a high school production of Romeo and Juliet.

"Desperate" doesn't begin to describe this high school drama troupe: their parents avoid their shows, their faculty sponsor has fled, and the audience for their production of Romeo and Juliet consists of one sleeping homeless woman. When they discover that the sleeping woman is actually dead, the troupe turns her into a zombie so she can join the show and make it a hit with the zombie-loving masses. But one bite leads to another, and soon things spin wildly out of control. When the curtain comes down on this undead Romeo and Juliet, will anyone be left alive?
