When ET Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The plot is this: Joan (Emily Webbe), one of the world's great rockers, has used her fabulous wealth to broadcast a video during halftime at the Super and Rose Bowls in which she urged people to abandon competition for cooperation. Wouldn't we be embarrassed for all the starving children if we had to explain ourselves to a visiting race from another planet, she asked (musically) in the video. Not surprisingly, the audience - having just spent the last hour drinking beer and watching twenty-two men hammer each other into oblivion - was not responsive. This spectacular failure has left Joan doubting her sanity, and when she gets a phone call from an actual extraterrestrial visitor (Avianne Washington) she decides to check herself into a mental hospital. There, the head doctor (A. Thomas Oliveira), a cheery fellow with new-age pretensions, tries to run a group encounter with Joan, Tracy (Randall Holloway), who is an amnesiac prone to violence, and Anne (Arielle Goodman), who is so fearful that she would spend all her time in the fetal position if it were easy to sing that way.
