Directed by Roger Duchowny (who once helmed "The Love Boat")

MOVIE
I'd like to personally thank everyone who could make it tonight for the general meeting of our Community Theater Group. Those who didn't make it... well, you know who you are. Production of our sequel to that Fifties SF classic "It Came From Outer Space" is back on schedule, thanks to some careful trimming in the stage budget. The alien's spaceship... an enormous yet intricate object which seared through the night sky and smashed into the desert floor without so much as a dent... will now be portrayed as a big, lumpy rock. The aliens... whose amorphous bodies and monocular vision gave children nightmares in the early 1950s... will now be portrayed by little, lumpy rocks. In keeping with this concept, we'll being using lumpy Jello for the special effects. Our prop guys did manage to create the incredible alien machine... which wielded enough power to pilot a ship to the stars or split the Earth right to its very core. Unfortunately, they broke the thing while loading it in the pick-up... so we wrote it out of the play. On the plus side, we have a large supply of fake sweat and blood for our actors, thanks to a donation from Joe Bob's Mink Farm. Rehearsals have been humming along nicely, by the way. Brian Kerwin is deep into his role as the heroic photographer who chauffeurs everyone to the plot points. There were, however, some last minute changes in the rest of our star cast. Stevie Fields, the precocious little Irish lad who gets into all sorts of predicaments, will now be played by Jonathan Carrasco. His spunky Irish immigrant mother will be played by Elizabeth Peña. And now, the technical director will explain once again the need to issue 3D glasses to give our stage production the illusion of depth.
