WHAT: Cerritos College will present Zombie Prom, a high-energy musical comedy set in the atomic 1950s, at the Performing Arts Center this May.
Set at Enrico Fermi High, the story follows Toffee, the girl-next-door, and her rebellious boyfriend, who returns from a nuclear waste site as a glowing zombie determined to win her back. Packed with original songs inspired by 1950s hits, Zombie Prom delivers a lively mix of romance, satire, and over-the-top fun in a parody of teen movies and atomic-age horror.
