Update: Beowulf Alley’s Active Imagination Theatre Presents

Spaced Out (formerly The Day Something Happened in Tucson)

 

In consideration of recent tragic events, we have chosen to modify our forthcoming children’s play being presented by Beowulf Alley Theatre’s Active Imagination Theatre. Originally announced as The Day Something Happened in Tucson, it is now titled,  Spaced Out and has a slightly different synopsis. We ask the media and our associates to help us make adjustments to anything currently published or in process of being published with the former title and thank you for your assistance. A modified press release is below.

After a crazy vacation in outer space, the crew of the USS Lost Cause returns to our solar system and finds that the Earth has been blown up in their absence. Fortunately they have a time machine, and they beam down to Earth in various time periods to find out what happened. Following clues, a team led by Sergeant Gungho explores caveman days, the Wild West, and a mystery location to stop the Earth from being destroyed.

 

Participatory, improvisational play is developed by AIT’s actors and geared for pre-school and elementary-aged children. Under the supervision of adult actors, children in the audience are invited to participate in scenes with only a bag of silly hats and costumes for props, allowing for the most fun, flexibility, and creativity and designed to inspire imagination and story-telling skills. Children and their parents are invited to share this exciting performance and be a part of the action. Portability allows the troupe to perform in schools, museums, and other off-site venues, giving us a vehicle for outreach to the community. It’s a great way to have a birthday party! Please check our website for specific performances.
