Paul Blart 3: Blart of Darkness

After selling out every show of its original Madison run, Paul Blart 3: Blart of Darkness is going to on tour -- including four showtimes returning to Madison. Advance tickets for all tour dates go on sale July 1!

This original play, written by Alan Talaga and directed by Doug Reed, is going toMinneapolis, MN; Indianapolis, IN; and Madisonapolis, WI. (Okay, the last one is just Madison but we wanted to keep the ‘apolis’ going.)

Described by Madison Magazine as “packed with gags... as well as high-octane fight scenes and cinematic set changes,” Paul Blart 3: Blart of Darkness is a post-apocalyptic tale that takes place ten years after the collapse of society. All that remains of humanity is a scattering of isolated villages. From the ashes, one brave woman tries to restart civilization by building a place where people can once again come together: a shopping mall. But the warlords who thrive in chaos want to destroy this new mall before it can even open. To save the mall, to save humanity itself, she will need to find and recruit the greatest mall cop the world has ever known.

Director Doug Reed was amazed by how much the play resonated with audiences. “During the original run, we had to turn people away every single night. We had audience members drive for hours to see the show. Long-time Blart fans loved it, people who never heard of the old movies loved it," says Reed, “We knew this play had legs and I knew we could take this on tour.”

Bringing the script to life onstage is a talented cast that includes: Reed, Amy Rowland, Meaghan Heires, Alyssa Stowe, Sibley, Shivam Patel, Casey Brown, and Anthony Cary as the mysterious Booker Walden. Reed says, “We have a number of actors reprising their roles from the original production. But we’ve also added some new actors who are making choices that keep the show fresh and alive.”
