Theater thing from outer space

It's alive! The Intergalactic Nemesis began its existence as a radio play, before metamorphosing into a graphic novel. Now it has reached its mature form as a live stage show and is coming to Ann Arbor's Summer Fest on Sunday, June 30 to conquer our hearts and minds. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, The Intergalactic Nemesis skewers and then lightly roasts pulp serials, science fiction classics and adventure stories into a post-modern kabob of pop culture tropes. The show is presented as a live graphic novel, with comic book stills projected behind actors, accompanied by music and Foley sound effects.

5pm. $10-35. Power Center for the Performing Arts, 121 Fletcher St., Ann Arbor. 734-994-5999. www.a2sf.org—JS
