An alien arrives in 1957 for a bit of sightseeing of the Civil War. Having missed that one, he decides to start another. He's fascinated by all the new toys the 20th century has invented for making war and wants to play with them, and the General and the Newscaster are happy to oblige. Once a movie starring Jerry Lewis, this play by Gore Vidal is a comedic reminder of the human condition in the vein of My Favorite Martian, Alf, and 3rd Rock From the Sun.
This play is presented as part of Oak Grove Theater's 2025 season. Tickets must be purchased for the entire season - no individual tickets are sold. Season tickets are $60 for all 5 shows. Find more information at oakgrovetheater.org and purchase tickets here.
Oak Grove Theater is a community theater group that performs an annual five-play summer season. The plays are performed at night, out-of-doors, at beautiful Oak Grove just outside of Verona. Please feel free to come picnic at the Oak Grove before the sun sets and the play begins.
