Lead Director
Denise Devin has been with ZJU since it re-located to 4850 Lankershim Blvd., NoHo, CA, twenty-two years ago. Since then, she has participated in at least 200 shows, probably more, as actress, writer, director, and senior advisor. Denise was original cast member of the first Urban Death and stayed with the show as actor-collaborator for its first ten years. Today, she remains with the show as Senior Advisor. It was at ZJU, under Zombie, that she learned the power of darkness to illuminate the human spirit. At ZJU, creators, have full reign to explore the mystery of the human spirit, in all its darkness and light, both in spoken and unspoken word. It is an honor and privilege to work alongside Zombie, Jana, and all the other artists to create unforgettable theatre.
Part walk down memory lane and part exploration of art – we’ll sit down with the creators of Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre to discuss their past 30 years.
