ALiEN8 : A New Musical

Book by David Lee White

Music & Lyrics by Kate Brennan

 

ABOUT ALiEN8:

In a small guarded town, a tornado touches down on prom

night, leaving devastation in its wake. The prom-goers emerge

from the school to discover a third of their town gone. Amidst

the rubble of the storm, a stranger appears: an other-worldly character who identifies only as “8.” 8 communicates through a unique gestural language and starts to acquire English by

reading YA classics like Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies and Grapes of Wrath. But when students start to learn 8’s unconventional language, they threaten to unearth the town’s

past, a shameful past most townspeople would rather remained buried. A new musical about past sins and future reconciliations, about the parts of ourselves we alienate to get by and the other parts that will risk anything just to connect.
