INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS INVADES
KRAVIS CENTER MAY 4
Science-Fiction Meets Eye-Popping Comic Book Art in Live, Theatrical Production
(WEST PALM BEACH-April 4, 2013)-When The Intergalactic Nemesis Live-Action Graphic Novel premiered in 2010, more than 2,100 people turned out. Shortly thereafter, it was featured on NPR and Conan O’Brien. Now, in its second touring season, the production hits 40 venues around the US, UK, and Canada, including a run at the New Victory Theatre on Broadway April 1-14. Fans of science-fiction, comics books or live theater will thrill to this one-of-a-kind, all-ages show in the Rinker Playhouse at The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m.
The premise is simple: a period adventure story (with no small share of laughs) featuring Pulitzer-winning reporter Molly Sloan, her intrepid assistant Timmy Mendez, and a mysterious librarian named Ben Wilcott as they face the most serious threat Earth has ever known: an impending invasion of sludge monsters from the planet Zygon.
The telling is what makes the experience of The Intergalactic Nemesis so incredibly unique: while three actors, one Foley artist, and one keyboardist perform all the voices, sound effects and music, more than 1,000 hand-drawn, full-color, hi-rez, blow-your-mind comic-book images blast from the screen, all performed LIVE.
“In 20 years of directing and producing plays, I’ve never seen an audience respond so positively,” says project creator Jason Neulander. “A must-see!” reports the Austin Chronicle.
The Intergalactic Nemesis is at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts Saturday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets start at $10 and may be purchased at the Kravis Center Box Office located at 701 Okeechobee Blvd. in West Palm Beach, by call the Box Office at 561-832-7469, or by visiting the official Kravis Center Box Office at www.kravis.org. The performance is part of the Family Fare Series, sponsored by SBA Communications Corporation.
