The Apocalypse Road Show: A Music-Filled Variety Show with Best-Selling Author Athena Aktipis and Musician Shanna in a Dress - Coming to St. Louis!

“Get ready for a night of music, comedy, and apocalyptic fun at The Apocalypse Road Show!”

How will you spend your final days? Will they be filled with joy and wonder, or weighed down by sadness and regret? Hopefully, the former, as life has so much to offer. Even in difficult times, we humans have the resilience to keep moving forward. The end of the world, or our own time, shouldn’t be a moment of fear, but one of celebration. And what better way to celebrate than with The Apocalypse Road Show, a blend of music, comedy, and an all-around engaging atmosphere?

This Wednesday, October 16th, join best-selling author and ASU associate professor Athena Aktipis, along with Nashville artist Shanna in a Dress, and their merry group of musicians at Moshmellow 3359 Jefferson Ave St. Louis, MO, located in the historic Cherokee District. The show kicks off at 8 PM, promising an unforgettable night.

Read on for more details about the event, as well as Athena’s earlier speaking engagement at Washington University, where she’ll be discussing her book A Field Guide to the Apocalypse: A Mostly Serious Guide to Surviving Our Wild Times.

The Apocalypse Roadshow is a traveling variety show about how to survive the apocalypse through cooperation, curiosity, and a sense of adventure. The Roadshow is a production of Zombified Media, a educational non-profit media company.

Why the Apocalypse Roadshow?

To have fun while being real about the risks we face.

To indulge our morbid curiosity.

Like doom scrolling, but better and more social!

To learn about the world through traveling and making social connections.

To share what we know and learn through these travels.

Please join us in welcoming the one and only Shanna In A Dress to the Apocalypse Roadshow! Shanna is your quirky best friend who never shies away from saying what everyone’s thinking, but no one else will say—exactly what we need in these apocalyptic times! With her signature blend of clever humor, heartbreak, and extreme candor, she’ll take you on an emotional roller coaster, sometimes within a single song. Picture a mashup of John Prine’s storytelling, Ingrid Michaelson’s indie charm, and a dash of Phoebe Buffay’s delightful whimsy, all delivered with a sweet voice and accompanied by guitar, piano, and ukulele.

Hailing from Nashville, Shanna’s spontaneous banter and unique ability to tackle life’s chaos with bold and witty lyrics make every show a one-of-a-kind experience. Whether it’s love, loss, or just surviving the day-to-day madness (or the end of the world!), Shanna is here to remind us that laughter, honesty, and great music are the keys to thriving—even in the apocalypse! We’re thrilled to have her on this wild ride.
