  MONTEREY PARK, CA – East Los Angeles College Storytheatre is pleased to present, “The Zombie Code or How Bobbie Z. Beats the Bull ’E’s” for their 2021-2022 season tour. The play’s hero Bobbie Zombie is an ordinary twelve-year old, but he is a zombie… a fact he often forgets. He’s excited about middle school and taking the bus. When he runs into the local gang, The Bull Street ‘E’s at the bus stop, middle school becomes a lot more complicated. Until he remembers ‘The Zombie Code’ as the only way to beat a bully.

The play is written for kindergarten to sixth graders and performed by East Los Angeles College theatre students in area elementary schools. The Zombie Code explores acceptance, diversity, and a strategy for ‘bully management’ in a fun, entertaining, theatrical production. The play lasts approximately 40 minutes, followed by a short question and answer period with the actors.

In addition to weekly performances, ELAC Storytheatre also participates weekly in the Robert Hill Lane Elementary after-school program located across the street from the ELAC campus. Students conduct workshops in creative drama and storytelling, gaining valuable workforce experience as teaching artists.

ELAC Storytheatre is a free program and part of ELAC’s Theatre in the Community Program. ELAC Storytheatre has performed for elementary schools, senior centers and special events throughout Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley for the past fifteen years.
