Through nostalgic conventions, Counter-Productions will present three mysterious tales: an alien invasion on Madison Ave, a precautionary warning of the power of universal knowledge through technology, and an exploration into the psyche of a desperately lonely man stranded in outer space.  "The fifties was infamous for its pulpy warnings of a grim future subservient to technology and rattled with constant war," says director, Brian McCarthy. "X Minus One (italicize) reminds us that the future has come, and it is time to heed their warning."

     X Minus One is presented at The Piano Factory Theatre in Boston and runs from November 7 thru November 23. Evening shows begin at 8:00 P.M./matinees at 2:00 P.M.
