The Intergalactic Nemesis

Live-Action Graphic Novel On Stage Friday at Victoria Theatre **Ticket Contest**

January 21, 2014 By Dayton Most Metro 2 Comments

urlStep into the Victoria Theatre for a one-of-a-kind theatre experience, a live-action graphic novel, as THE INTERGALATIC NEMISIS returns to the Victoria Theatre with BOOK 2: ROBOT PLANET RISING Friday, Jan. 24, 2014 at 8 pm.

What began as a late night coffeehouse production, THE INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS has transformed into an incredibly unique theater experience combining graphic novels and radio plays into a live-action theatre production. The telling is what makes the experience of THE INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS so incredibly unique: while three actors, one Foley artist, and one keyboardist perform all the voices, sound effects and music, more than 1,000 hand-drawn, full-color,
hi-resolution, blow-your-mind comic-book images blast from the screen. nemesis2

Featured on “Conan” and NPR’s “All Things Considered,” the premise of THE INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS is simple.BOOK 2: ROBOT PLANET RISING premiered at the Long Center for the Performing Arts in June 2012 to rave reviews.  It’s a period adventure story with no small share of laughs.   The year is 1933. When the robot emissary Elbee-Dee-Oh disappears in deep space, it’s up to Molly Sloan to rescue him. If only it were that simple. Because at that same time, and unbeknownst to her, her former fiancé Dr. Lawrence Webster has miraculously arrived on  the planet Robonovia, the Cerebretron is malfunctioning, Timmy has only just begun to master his telekinetic powers, a sinister robot named Alphatron is up to something terribly nefarious, and the duplicitous Soviet spy Natasha Zorokov has followed Dr. Webster through the Galactascope. Will it all get sorted out? Or is there another, more evil, thread to this complex tapestry? There’s only one way to find out! Buy tickets now!

 

Tickets for THE INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS are on sale now at the Ticket Center Stage Box Office, located in the Wintergarden of the Schuster Center, by phone at 937-228-3630, toll free 888- 228-3630 and online at www.ticketcenterstage.com.

The Intergalactic Nemesis Bring Comics to Life at the Victoria Theatre + TICKET CONTEST

January 28, 2013 By Dayton Most Metro 5 Comments

Nemesis_FoleyArtOn Friday, February 1, the savvy, witty graphic novels of the present day collide – onstage! – with the bombastic camp of 1930’s radio serials as the Victoria Theatre Association presents The Intergalactic Nemesis: Target Earth, a hilarious stage performance that brings the comics to life.

Set in 1933, Nemesis unspools the globe-trotting saga of an award-winning reporter, her research assistant, and a mysterious librarian as they travel around the world and, then, the universe on a quest to defeat the Zygonians – evil, alien sludge monsters that are out to destroy humankind.

Inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, and the pulp serials of the 1930’s, what began as an unexpectedly popular radio play in 1996 evolved into a graphic novel in 2009, then finally in 2010, a stage show that married the two. The graphic novel is projected onto a screen, one frame at at time (1,200 images!), with the speech balloons removed. Onstage, the approach is classic radio to a tee: three actors perform all the dialogue live, taking on dozens of characters and voices; a single foley artist armed with a host of bizarre items, provides all the sound effects; and a single pianist provides a melodramatic backdrop for the adventure.

Nemesis_Full_Stage_CrawfordFeatured and praised on Conan and NPR’s All Things Considered (indeed, Dayton’s NPR affiliate, WYSO 91.3 FM, is sponsoring this performance), as well as in the Wall Street Journal and American Theatre Magazine, people are often not sure what to expect when confronted by The Intergalactic Nemesis, but two years of national touring, rave reviews, and the creation of a new sequel in response to popular demand…well, they all speak for themselves. Nemesis is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that will bring out the kid in you. Older audience members will enjoy the warm, nostalgic throwback to a time when entertainment was simpler and more was left to the imagination. Younger attendees will love the boundless energy, the over-the-top energy comedy (including some truly hysterical death scenes), and recapturing that childhood thrill they felt the first time they saw Indiana Jones outrun a boulder, the Goonies discover The Inferno, or the Ghosbusters face Gozer as life, love, and the future hung in the balance.

“Sometimes it’s important to just have an escape,“ says creator Jason Neulander in an article from The Wall Street Journal. “Life can be hard, and I feel like right now, in the times we are in, it really can’t hurt to have an opportunity for a couple of hours — for people from 7 to 70 and older — to go in the theater and escape from their daily lives and go on a pure, unadulterated adventure.”

The Intergalactic Nemesis: Target Earth lands at the Victoria Theatre on Friday, February 1, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at the Ticket Center Stage Box Office, located in the Wintergarden of the Schuster Center; by phone (937) 228-3630; or online at www.ticketcenterstage.com.  The official website is at TheIntergalacticNemesis.com.
