Report Back to Space
By Judd Lear Silverman ^ Directed by Chelsey Smith^ Stage Manager Madeleine Blossom Assistant Stage Manager Fatemata Krubally Featuring: Luis Feliciano & Rachel Shardt On a hot summer day in the park, an alien from another planet arrives to learn just how our planet functions—and gets an earful from a well-rooted creature closely in touch with the earth: a flower, who tells him not only how the planet really works, but how the humans only think they run it. This brief comedy is a humorous look at the state of our world and the opportunities for pleasure that humans often miss.
