Silent Night of the Living Dead presented by New Millennium Theatre Company at MCL Chicago

Hordes of the undead are waging a war on Christmas, but that can't stop the Coopers from having a jolly family dinner in the New Millennium Theatre's holiday favorite Silent Night of the Living Dead. College student Barbara Cooper returns home with her new boyfriend, Ben, to introduce him to her family -- only to discover that half of them have a craving for something other than fruitcake. Now, with the undead closing in, it's up to Ben to save Christmas. If George Romero had directed those warm and fuzzy stop-motion holiday specials, it might look something like this.
