Specimen Sherman

Dark Horse Theatre—Cre8ery

I love the writing talents of Mike Seccombe and Specimen Sherman was no exception. The script is witty, fast paced and has a delightful message by the end of it (something I was not expecting …although truth be told, I didn’t know what to expect!). The acting talent was wonderful – I fully believed the characters, and was rooting for all of them (except for the overlord dude … believed, but didn’t root for- sorry Karl!). This was an all around fun, well presented show. I look forward to future Dark Horse productions!

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.
