Auburn’s cast from the past is at it again.

The Summer Alumni Theatre Company presents “Zombies From The Beyond,” James Valcq’s musical comedy celebration of American ideals and foibles in the Eisenhower era.

The curtain opens for the first of six performances at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Theatre at Auburn Mountainview, 28900 124th Ave. SE.

Evening shows are scheduled for Aug. 12, 13, 18, 19, 20.

Tickets are $10. Proceeds benefit the high school drama students scholarship fund.

The SATC is comprised of actors, actresses and artists who graduated from Auburn-area high schools. Under director Paul Fouhy, the cast assembles each summer to perform a benefit show.

In “Zombies From The Beyond,” songs, dances and laughs abound in the unlikeliest of settings as the Cold War and space race paranoia threaten the good folks at the fictional Milwaukee Space Center in 1955, where the staff is all abuzz at the arrival of rocket scientist Trenton Corbett. The budding romance of Trenton and Mary — the daughter of Space Center commander Major Malone — is jeopardized when a flying saucer lands in Milwaukee. The craft is piloted by Zombina, a buxom alien aviatrix bent on procuring he-specimens to re-populate her planet.

Can Mary uphold her lady-like demeanor while using her facile intelligence to save Milwaukee from a Red Menace and a flying saucer invasion? Can plucky delivery boy Billy ever get secretary Charlene to notice his tap-dancing charms?? Can the stalwart men of Milwaukee survive brainwashing by a musical menace from another world who gives new meaning to “stratospheric” soprano?

Taking its cue from pulp movies popular at the time, “Zombies From The Beyond,” brings the 1950s nostalgically and hilariously to life with a tuneful, toe-tapping score.
