Our Theater Is Dead (Full Audio Screenplay)

Our Theater Is Dead is revealed to the world — the full horror/comedy screenplay, now in audio form. The Stafford Multiplex is dead. Or at least, as close to dead as a theater can be. On a night when Leo, the theater’s most loyal employee, hosts a horror film festival to bring life back to the Stafford, a vicious zombie virus hits town. Reluctant as he may be, Leo must step up and lead his broken team through one night of undead madness — to find their missing coworker, protect the guests, and maybe even save the theater’s reputation. Can the Stafford Multiplex stay alive for one more night? All script material © Billy Smith. Voice performances generated using Screenplayer.ai.
