REDACTED: The Untold (Un)True Story of Roswell New Mexico: The Musical
Glicker-Milstein Theatre, MARCH 4-6, 2024
Come see the first ever First Stages production – REDACTED. First Stages is a new branch of CMTS dedicated to putting on full showings of original, student-written musicals like REDACTED, which follows the aftermath of a flying saucer crash landing in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. This kicks off a chain of action-adventure mayhem, during which disgraced rocket scientist William Nye must help two aliens return to their interstellar mission, all the while evading both KGB and FBI agents seeking to steal the extraterrestrial technology to gain an upper hand in the blooming Cold War. Joseph Stalin and Harry Truman are also there! Will our plucky alien duo return to their mission, or be dissected forever in Area 51? Will William Nye redeem himself? And, most importantly, will Special Agent Svetlana Svetlanavich of the KGB ever open up her own burger joint? Join us March 4-6 to find out! Our journey has a 2 hour runtime with a 10 minute intermission.
