New York Premiere of
Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom
By Jennifer Haley
Directed by Joel Schumacher
November – December 2015

“And the greatest pleasures to be derived from “Neighborhood 3” come from watching its cast members embody various aspects of disaffected, glassy-eyed adolescence and uneasy, shortsighted adulthood.”
– Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“Part Stepford Wives, part Shaun of the Dead, Jennifer Haley’s Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom makes a morbid and exciting impact in its New York premiere…By the time things actually start to go pear-shaped, the audience is on tenterhooks.“
– Exeunt Magazine
“Suburbia on overdrive.“
– Quick Theatre
Cast: Adelind Horan, Alex Haynes, Eric Folks, Olivia Jampol, Cristina Pitter, Alexandra Curran, Brendan Sokler, Justin Ahdoot, Adam Alexander Hamilton, Lindsley Howard, Hank Lin, Sydney Blaxill, Madeline Mahoney, Thomas Muccioli (understudy), Connor Johnston, Kerry Ipema and Kevin Argus (understudy)
In a quiet cul-de-sac where the Neighborhood Association regulates everything from lawn height to garden gnomes, no one can control the growing addiction to a new online game. Using aGPS map, the game allows teenagers to battle zombies in their own neighborhood. But as the line between the game and reality blurs, everyone must ask themselves: which team are you on?
This New York premiere will be directed by noted film director, screenwriter and producer, Joel Schumacher and will feature the Bats, the resident acting company at The Flea. The Flea is thrilled to be partnering with State of Play, a company that uses play to build community, as they present Humans vs. Zombies: Neighborhood 3 Edition. This live action game will be played around TriBeCa and around the city in conjunction with the run as a part of The Flea’s continued effort to promote new types of engagement with their audience and community.
