The Play
An alien lands on Earth. He thinks he has arrived in time to see the Civil War, which he expects will be jolly, but he has misjudged his landing and gets here in 1957. Since he has missed the Civil War, he takes it upon himself to make his own war -he's enchanted with all the new playthings the twentieth century has invented for war-making, and he wants to toss a few of them around. |

The Audition
As always, the audition for Visit to a Small Planet will be a cold read - no need to prepare anything in advance. Feel free to bring a head shot and resume, if you don't have these ACT will have audition forms and a camera.
If auditioning for a play sounds scary - we get it! Just remember, ACT is full of first time actors, designers, and directors. There are several small parts in this play so it is a perfect opportunity to try something new. Remember, this is your theatre.
