This was a great play - funny, quirky, unexpected and even thought provoking. If you want a little of everything in a play, this is for you. The audience sits on the stage in stadium style which make for an intimate setting and it works very well for Alien Invaders. On street parking is free. Get there a half hour early to queue up for good seats. General admission.

Wonderful play! Very funny, well-written and superb acting, especially by the Elliot and Paul characters.

My only criticism would be that the ending was very abrupt-- there was much activity onstage and then the play ended. It didn't seem finished.

But this wasn't enough to make this anything other than a really good play. Very entertaining.

This play was wonderfully complex and craftily written. It provided provocative insight into a family of 4 adopted siblings as they deal with life, trauma, and death; battling each other with their individual pain and needs, eventually approaching growth. Each actor perfectly executed their part. Left the audience breathless.
