Cheerleaders VS Aliens

by Rachel Bublitz

FULL LENGTH: When aliens invade a small town and abduct the high school football team to steal their brain jelly, no one steps up to save them. Not any parents, not the principal, not the police, not the fire department, not the governor, not even the marines. Thankfully there’s one last group no one ever thought of as heroic, and they’re ready and able to kick some alien butt. That’s right, the cheerleaders...

FULL LENGTH: When aliens invade a small town and abduct the high school football team to steal their brain jelly, no one steps up to save them. Not any parents, not the principal, not the police, not the fire department, not the governor, not even the marines. Thankfully there’s one last group no one ever thought of as heroic, and they’re ready and able to kick some alien butt. That’s right, the cheerleaders. Led by science-fiction enthusiast and self proclaimed mega nerd Gilda, the Greenville High School Cheerleading Squad uses rhymes, cartwheels, glitter, and a fun-ton of tin foil to save the day.

    An extremely witty and well-written piece that is purely original and heavily inspired; a perfect piece for younger actors and fun-seeking audiences! I loved every second!

    A perfect blend of Buffy-like fun and cozy mystery.

    If I had one word to describe this play it would be: FUN. Luckily, I have more. The perfect cure for someone who wants to escape from the ails in the world. There is a large cast but each character has their own unique quirks that make them stand out. And if you want a play with great woman characters, this play is chock full of em.

    As the play says “ If we don’t subvert all those tired old tropes they’ll just keep playing out again and again to no one’s benefit.” Great job.
