Specimen Sherman

Dark Horse Theatre—Cre8ery

This one is a funny, quirky sci-fi show about a man named Sherman who is abducted by aliens and becomes part of an experiment. The action follows a high stakes moral dilemma that several characters find themselves puzzling though, and left me wondering what in the world I would do if I found myself in this particular circumstance (unlikely, but one has to consider it.) It is a tale with poignant commentary on humanity and human nature as the aliens try to understand our species. To see us from their perspective is intriguing and funny when the characters continue to puzzle and surprise them. It was also fun to see how many references I could catch to other popular sci-fi that were thrown into the script whenever they could.
