Centenary Stage's NEXTStage Repertory Presents "Alice in Slasherland"

originally published: 10/13/2021

Centenary Stage

(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company’s NEXTStage Repertory returns with Qui Nguyen’s horror-comedy Alice in Slasherland November 4-8 in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center. When young Lewis Diaz accidentally resurrects the soul of a brutally slain girl named Alice, he unwittingly unleashes a literal hell on Earth.

Now, with every imaginable kind of demon, monster, and killer ravaging his small town, it's up to Lewis and his newly undead companion to protect his classmates -- including longtime crush Margaret -- from becoming freshly slaughtered carcasses. With the help of Alice's trash-talking demonic teddy bear, Lewis races to find a way to close the rift before the devil himself shows up and totally ruins their senior prom.
