Put on your 3D glasses! From the Jeff Award-winning writers that brought you Murder for Two, a new musical comedy blasts off from the cult favorite ‘50s sci-fi film. When an astronomer encounters a spaceship in the desert, everyone just laughs—until some townspeople start acting very strange. Are the aliens here to conquer the Earth? Or… do they come in peace?

Full of music and laughs, It Came from Outer Space is an out-of-this World Premiere with the Tony Award-winning Chicago Shakespeare Theater.

Patron Guidance: This play contains some limited adult language and themes.
