AGAWAM – Fans of the popular reality TV show "Survivor" have a chance this summer to put what they have learned on the small screen to the test with Six Flags New England's new stage show, "Survivor Live."



The stage show kicks off Memorial Day weekend at the park's Rockville Theater. It will run three times daily, except on Tuesdays, through Labor Day.



"We are pleased to bring the thrills and excitement of 'Survivor Live' to our guests," said Jason Freeman, Six Flags New England park president. "We predict this show will become an instant crowd favorite."



A joint effort of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, CBS Consumer Products and RWS and Associates, "Survivor Live" will put park guests' minds and bodies to the test as audience members compete in contests designed to challenge their endurance, memory and strength.

This interactive show features music, choreography, state-of-the-art sets and lavish costumes.



"Survivor" is "one of the most popular shows in reality TV history," said Melissa M. Pinkerton, communications manager for Six Flags New England. "We're always looking to diversify our entertainment, and adding this cool stage show that people can get involved with is a great addition to the awesome entertainment package we already have."



During each "Survivor Live" show, the audience will be divided into four tribes: Mogo Mogo Tribe, Ulong Tribe, Lopevi Tribe and Kota Tribe.



One person will be selected from each to compete in games, and the winner will be eligible for a drawing to win a pair of tickets to see the season finale of "Survivor" live in New York City.



"We're really thrilled about it," Pinkerton said. "It's an incredible theatrical piece."



The show will be included in the theme park entrance price.



"This is an opportunity for everybody to get on board and be part of a tribe," Pinkerton said.



Six Flags America in Washington, D.C., will present the "Survivor Live" show, too.



Survivor, now in its 22nd season on CBS, features contestants who are stranded in a remote location and divided into tribes who compete against one another in various physical and mental challenges. The losing team is forced to vote a member of its own tribe off the island. The goal is to outwit, outplay and outlast the other contestants to be the last person standing and win the title of Sole Survivor and a $1 million prize.
