ZOMBIE JOE
JANA WIMER
Host: JOHN SEMPER JR.
ZOMBIE JOE created Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group aka Z.J.U. in August of 1992 in a small industrial garage in Northridge, CA The Underground continues to push the limits of live progressive theater as a vital experimental art form in honor of such writers as Antonin Artaud, Bertolt Brecht, Anton Chekhov, Ivan Turgenev, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and George Lucas. Now located in the North Hollywood Theater District, aka The NoHo Arts District, ZJU Theatre Group continues to provide new, original productions that run year-round. The group has been nominated for LA Weekly Theater Awards and was named in the “Best of L.A. Theater Companies for the Decade” list by Steven Leigh Morris of the LA Weekly. Performance schedule here.
