AND LEAVE THE DRIVING TO US by Paul Shipp and Steve Larsen

MEN IN BLACK by The ACME Ensemble

March/April 1991 - ACME Theatricks Production, Seattle Mime Theatre
and
January 1991 - 1^st Annual Seattle Fringe Theater Festival, Oddfellows Hall

This funny, paranoid fantasy chronicles the adventures of Randall Davenport, a naïve astronaut wanna-be, as he confronts the phenomenon known to UFO folklorists as "men in black." On the heels of UFO sightings, Americans from all walks of life have reported threatening visitations from men dressed in dark suits. Witnesses and students of the supernatural disagree on the origins and intentions of these odd strangers. Are they aliens from outer space masquerading as humans? Are they government agents seeking seemingly insignificant information from ordinary citizens? Or are they merely products of anxiety-ridden imaginations in an anxiety-ridden nation? Whoever they are, what would it be like to work for them?

The script of MEN IN BLACK was created through a series of improvisations by the performers, most of whom are veterans of past ACME productions
