A 1-man musical/ stage play that dives into the UFO taboo heads-first. Actor/ singer Alan Ox portrays 6 actual military men coming forward with their accounts of what happened behind closed doors when ‘visitors’ came to call. With tunes ranging from the tin pan alley ‘Call On The British’ to the driving ‘Radar Don’t Lie’ the stories move as quickly as the onstage costume changes- and in the end, the audience is left to ponder the revelations that could change one’s world-view. From one playgoer: “I’m NOT nuts. This play has to be seen by everyone. I loved every aspect of it.”
