Tillamook’s new play gets grave reviews

Grab your survival kits and your sense of humor because “How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” by Ben Muir is taking over Tillamook’s Barn Community Playhouse.

The hilarious, fast-paced comedy turns the end of the world into an unforgettable night of laughter, chaos and occasionally questionable survival advice.

Part parody and part interactive seminar, the show invites audiences to learn the essential skills for making it through a zombie outbreak, from recognizing early warning signs to choosing your teammates wisely.

While audience participation adds to the fun, don’t worry, joining in is entirely optional. You can sit back, laugh and let others volunteer to test their survival instincts.

Audience members are encouraged to come in costume for the Halloween performance this Friday. Whether you’re a brave survivor, a shuffling zombie or something delightfully weird in between, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the spooky season while supporting live theater and sharing some laughs.

“How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” runs through November 9, with performances at 7 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm matinées each Sunday. Tickets are $20 for adults and $13 for children aged 12 and younger. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy Avenue in Tillamook.
