High School Dropouts from Outer Space
Author(s):
Keith Jackson
Strange things are happening at the Audubon Academy, an institute devoted to the study of birdlife. Overhead a spacecraft from the planet Ulalume is about to crash. And when it does, the fun begins. The aliens look like slimy caterpillars, so the only way they can move freely on this planet is to assume human pods... the bodies of teenagers! The kids at Audubon are doomed unless the space bugs can be stopped. But how? Phones are dead, batteries won't work, and the computers are down. The school's director, Miss Thornbird, is frantic because Sheriff Gardner canít get a handle on the situation. Things heat up when Dr. Adler from the Department of Extraterrestrial Life warns everyone what they can expect. Another alien spacecraft saves the day, and we discover the aliens are actually high school dropouts from Ulalume! They are quickly gobbled down by a grumpy parrot named Capín Kidd. This is a hilarious show with nothing on its spacey mind but laughter. Itís "Mars Attack" meets "Men In Black," along with every other sci-fi cliché you can think of. Easy to produce, with the sort of hilarious roles both audience and cast enjoy.
