Live Arts has a unique treat in store for audiences! Visit to a Small Planet tells the story of Kreton, an alien from an unnamed planet who lands on Earth intending to view the American Civil War. He miscalculates and lands instead 100 years later. Having missed the opportunity to see conflict first hand, but delighted with all the new playthings the twentieth century has invented for war-making, he decides to create a war for himself.
Some highlights:
- Finally, you’ll get to hear what your cat really thinks of you.
- You’ll never look at bacon the same way again.
- Relive those awkward sexual advances of your high school years.
- If you weren’t already tired of the bureaucracy in the military, here’s a few more reasons.
- Find out if there really is a media bias for creatures from another planet.
- Because there’s no time like the present to undo all of those pesky alien stereotypes.

History of the Theatre taken from the website and published after the break…
