Pennsylvania and New Jersey Teens Steal the Spotlight with Captivating New Musical

A new musical — “Alien8” — written by Kate Brennan and David Lee White was developed with and written for teenagers and speaks to intergenerational views of gender, identity, and inclusion within an anthem of belonging, love, and acceptance.

It is performed by the Playhouse Youth Company at Bucks County Playhouse from Thursday, July 27 through Sunday, July 30 at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. A hit last summer with an all-student cast, “Alien8” tells the story of a small town that has to change when a mysterious new student enters its high school.
