"I would like to tell you about the future. The future is made of stars." Sam, obsessed with stars and stuck in middle-of-nowhere BC, is given a shocking out-of-this world opportunity the night of her 14th birthday. An alien (who looks suspiciously like her missing mother) visits Sam in her dad’s cornfield. This alien gives her a connection to the outside world and promises a whirlwind adventure that will help Sam escape. With horrors increasing at home, Sam decides to take the leap and lands in some deadly repercussions. Escape isn’t easy, and sometimes you have to blast off in order to survive. Winner of the 2022 Cultchivating the Fringe Award at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, reviews said "[It] could be the synopsis of an M. Night Shyamalan film, an engaging thriller touching on sci-fi, supernatural, horror, and fantasy, leaving us wanting the sequel to find out what lays ahead for young Sam" and "one of those shows you ponder long after it’s over.”If you want your mother to hold you, if you want your current life to go up in flames, or if you want the kind of revenge that puts people in jail, this is the show for you.
