For the kid in everyone comes a one-of-a-kind show:  The Intergalactic Nemesis, Book One: Target Earth. The performance is two hours (with intermission) October 16 at 5PM, October 17 at 2PM and 8PM and October 18 at 2PM in the Mertz Theatre. From ages 7 to 70, this is truly a show for all ages. This live graphic novel is one-of-a-kind mash-up of radio drama and graphic storytelling. Three actors give voice to dozens of characters, one Foley artist creates hundreds of sound effects, and a keyboardist provides the music as 1,250 blow-your-mind comic-book images tell the story of an impending invasion of sludge monsters from the planet Zygon. This performance is two hours with intermission. Enjoy the video below for a taste of the Intergalactic experience!
