“We found a little green man, little green man…what do we do now?”

What would you do if a spaceship from another galaxy crashed in your rural Minnesota town? YOU’D WRITE AND PERFORM A MUSICAL PAGEANT ABOUT IT!

In COLD PLANET WARM HEART, the women of the Upper Midwest Center for Universal Peace are staging the story of the greatest event in their history: the arrival of a being from another galaxy and the barista who befriended them. Join us for the WORLD PREMIERE of a warm-hearted, family-friendly science fiction tale that explores themes of immigration, tolerance, and the need to discover and follow our heart’s desire.
