REVIEWS:

"It's always nice to see sci-fi wrested from movies and TV and brought back to the stage. This is especially true when it is in the hands of talented artists like Mac Rogers and director Jordana Williams... If the first play in the series, Advance Man, is any indication, Rogers has written another sci-fi hit."
