take a decidedly more adult turn as The Cellar, one of Orange County’s best
known fine dining establishments, hosts an interactive zombie production.
The award-winning Maverick Theater troupe will play starring roles in the
nights’ festivities. The show entitled, “Trick or Eat” begins with
guests descending down to the underground restaurant via a freight (make
that fright) elevator. A radio broadcast is heard announcing that zombies
have taken over Fullerton and that the only safe haven in the city is The
Cellar. Which of your fellow guests may have already been infected? Will you
become one of the living dead? How can you remain safe? Who will survive
this night of haunting revelation? Haunted dining since 2007.
