Actors and Aliens

Actors and Aliens is a fully staged reading of two TV sitcom pilots written by Michael Newman. Hometown weirdos, aliens, and singing. It's all here!
Stephanie's Playhouse: Stephanie is a failed actress who gives up performing and returns to her hometown to start a new life. But the town, revering her, has named the community theater after her and beckons her to star in the musical extravaganza biopic that her father wrote about her.
Illegal Aliens: Three spoiled teenage aliens from outer space pose as high school freshmen with a mission: rule the school. But they find it harder than they thought after they chose the wrong people to emulate: an underdeveloped nerd (Bill Gates); a loud mouth diva (Oprah); and an obese kid with a Jesus-complex (Chris Christie).
