Make time for these
Rick Broida produced it locally in February 2015 as part of an interactive theater show that ran in multiple cities. Groups of up to 12 were locked in a room in the Penobscot Building for an hour with a chained zombie, played by an actor, whose chain grew a foot every five minutes. About 30 percent of groups made it out. It was a limited-run show and is no longer operating.
