The Abbey Theater Presents Ohio Premiere Of ALIENS! 3 MILES, TURN LEFT!

The Abbey Theater of Dublin, as part of its ongoing Virtual Theatre Project, will present the Ohio premiere production of "Aliens! 3 Miles, Turn Left," written by Stephen Schrum and performed by James Harper. The production will stream on-demand online from Oct. 16 through Oct. 25, 2020. Tickets are $5 per household and are available for purchase at DublinOhioUSA.gov/abbey-theater.

The play opens with a man siting at home and watching late-night television. He imagines being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, talking about his mundane life, marriage, job...and an alien encounter.

"We are honored to present the Ohio premiere of this unofficial love letter to Alfred Hitchcock and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," the Abbey Theater of Dublin's Theater Supervisor Joe Bishara said. "Schrum's play provides ample adventure, humor, mystery and suspense - perfect for the whole family to enjoy."

"I've always had a fascination with aliens and the unknown," performer James Harper said. "This production is a fun, spooky, family-friendly way to celebrate the Halloween season."
