RESIDENT ALIEN
Stuart Spencer
“It’s not often you see a space alien in
orange Converses and a Wisconsin K-mart employee expound upon Kirkegaard in the
woods.
RESIDENT ALIEN, a comedy by Stuart Spencer, is filled with such
suprisingly funny scenes.
RESIDENT ALIEN is hilarious...the dialogue is snappy with lots of
local flavor, and the characters interact well with each other...this show is
both heart-warming and delightful.
The best part of this show is not the kooky humor, and it’s not the
Fargo-ish Wisconsin accents. What makes RESIDENT ALIEN so exceptional is that it
manages to reveal a number of insights about intelligence, culture and a sense
of belonging without being too obvious about it.”
Jenny Sandman, Louisville Eccentric Observer
“RESIDENT ALIEN is a sweet and quirky comedy set in an anonymous
small town in northeastern Wisconsin....
It’s the characters that set RESIDENT ALIEN apart from television
fodder. They are interesting, likeable and cut just enough against stereotype to
be refreshingly funny....
Additional humor is found in small town insularity. Most of the
characters, who are approaching middle age, are still playing out grudges and
slights from their adolescent years.”
