TAPIT Theater brings in the zombies with its one-act comedy.

 You know how it is with zombies – they keep coming back.  The next expected zombie outbreak is here at the Café Carpe.

Performing Now What in a café, instead of a theater, is like releasing this action-packed comedy into its natural environment.  That’s because Now What sets the Zombie Apocalypse in a coffee shop.  A successful businesswoman dealing with identity theft, a barista facing both a break-up and college graduation, a gender-ambiguous prepper and a mysterious but not well-wrapped woman who claims she works for the NSA find themselves thrown together as the world lurches to an end.  As members of this motley crew struggle for survival, they gain new insights into themselves, the meaning of community and the surprising survival uses for stir sticks.

Taking full advantage of everything audience members think they know about zombies, this comedy lampoons society’s apocalyptic obsessions, and reminds us that even after you’ve gone over the edge, tomorrow is still the first day of the rest of your life.

Directed by Meghan Randolph and written by Danielle Dresden, Now What is performed by Nedra Bobo, Francisco Torres, Donna Peckett and Dresden, with costumes by Rebecca Sites and appearances by guest zombies.

Since its premiere in November 2013, Now What and its original and undead cast have left a trail of tickled funny bones from Akron, Ohio to Madison, Wisconsin.
