Theater Artists Olympia present: The HEAD! That Wouldn’t DIE!! ​​Redux

Theater Artists Olympia continues its 13th season with the return of its breakout hit of last year, The HEAD! That Wouldn’t DIE!!​​ Their homegrown bit of toe tapping horror is coming back to The Midnight Sun just in time for the Halloween season!

Based on an infamously bad B movie from 1959, ​The Brain That Wouldn’t Die​(famously lampooned by the MST3K guys, memorable themselves for recognizing the truly awful), The TAO Collective has taken the original concept as a starting point. Gleefully hacking away the old and tired and suturing to it new plot lines, TAO has created loads of laughs, an awesome all original soundtrack, and turned this live production into something surprising and new.

After sold­out houses and an extended run, it was decided to remount HEAD! one more time. With additional cast members and new songs, the show promises to be even more heady than the first time around. Directed again by pug Bujeaud (last years recipient of the Weekly Volcano’s Olympia’s Best Director title) and the return of a stellar cast, HEAD! is full of Olympia’s finest; Heather Christopher, Xander Layden, Vanessa Postil, John Serembe and Jesse Moore­Hendrickson lead the story, along with a score of others.
