From the puckish mind of Nick Gillette, winner of the 2021 Philly Fringe Festival audience choice award for best comedy. Reception is your chance to speak to and hear from an alien intelligence, channeled through one of Philadelphia's most charming improvisers. In 2014, the first interstellar object ever sighted near our sun mysteriously changed course and tumbled away. Soon after, voices purporting to originate from Vega poured uncontrollably from the mouth of a local performing artist. Probing the intentions of the audience, this channeling walks a tightrope between a supernatural or psychological explanation.
