IN PURSUIT

IN PURSUIT, by Breahan Pautsch, is Hobo Junction's new sci-fi comedy. A sweet couple of immigrants from another galaxy is settling into a nice quiet life in Wisconsin, and only an intergalactic green card stands between them and the nice normal Earth life they've always dreamed of. Just when Earth American citizenship seems with in their reach...miles of red tape, a crazy out-of-town cousin hell-bent on a good time and an unexpected body threaten to derail their well-made plans. As they struggle to keep it all together, they learn that everyone has their own idea of "nice" and "normal", making it harder to find than a Tribble in a field of Triffids, and that home may not be on any planet, but in the big, squishy heart of someone they love.

Incorporating brand-new puppet designs and classic comedy, Hobo Junction will launch this show at the Second Stage Theater in Chicago August 11, 2011.

"In Pursuit" documents the trials and tribulations of One and Two: aliens trying to become citizens of our beautiful planet, and the prejudices they must overcome to show us what it truly means to love someone--no matter who {or what} they are.
