Via Horror Society we learn of an interactive theatre event involving negative Zombie portrayals in Chicago:

CHICAGO, ILL. – October 5, 2010 – From October 21 through November 6 the audience-interactive theatrical event, Zombies Attack Chicago, is returning for its third year to The Spot at 4437 N. Broadway in Uptown. This time around, Colonel Baker and the Bravo Emergency Response Team (BERT) use their training to suppress a zombie outbreak in the horror-themed, live event. The cult hit runs from every Thursday, Friday and Saturday starting at 8 p.m.

Audience members are encouraged to be part of the performance. If someone has an idea, observation or just thinks, “don’t open that door,” they can shout it out. The audience casts itself in this movie as whoever they want to be: the average Joe, the ditzy blonde, the self-serving jerk or even the warrior. Ticket holders are encouraged to shine as a lead or be an extra.

Whoever they want, eh? How about if someone casts themselves as… a Zombie Rights Activist?

The ZRC is booked here in Madison this weekend; next weekend we are looking at attending the Drunken Zombie Film Festival… but this opportunity is certainly tempting as well. In the meantime, if any Zombie Allies in the Chicago area wanted to help out and stage a little theatrical intervention, well, you know where to go.
