Mothership! The Musical [2020]
musical workshop
Mothership is an out-of-this-world musical melodramedy about the fate of our planet, renewable energy, and the unbridled power of dance and music.

In December of 2020, a socially-distanced workshop of the first act of Mothership was recorded, and animations were provided by the hilarious Michael Fong.
