Man tries to create the biggest display of Christmas lights in the neighborhood. It’s, um, very bright.
How bright? Well, the aliens out in deep space take notice of the unusual light coming from an otherwise obscure planet. Naturally, they decide to investigate.
By investigate, we mean land on planet Earth. Is that not the most awesome alien landing ship ever?
By investigate, we mean the aliens come armed.
Naturally, things go very wrong. She mistakes this alien for a contest judge and offers some fruitcake. You know all about fruitcake.
The aliens try to figure out what fruitcake is and how dangerous it might be.
Curtain call.
Two short Christmas plays to be produced in Roanoke
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in News, Productions, Uncategorized on December 2, 2015
My short pieces JOY TO OTHER WORLDS (the five-minute version, not the one-act version) and THIS IS ANGEL O’LORD REPORTING will be produced at Showtimers in Roanoke, Virginia as part of an evening of short Christmas plays on December 11-13.
The event is a toy-raiser for Toys for Tots. Admission: One unwrapped toy.
THIS IS ANGEL O’LORD REPORTING
The Christmas story, as reported on television – with Angel O’Lord as the television reporter on the scene in Bethlehem. That’s Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Cast: Eight – 1 female, 1 male, 6 non-gender. Running time: Five minutes.
JOY TO OTHER WORLDS
A man’s Christmas tree lights are so bright that they attract the attention of an alien species, which thinks it’s a coded transmission. Comedy ensues. Cast: Four: Two male, one female, one non-gender.

Here’s the synopsis:

I’ve now been produced in every Canadian province from Ontario and west; nothing yet from Quebec to the east.
