spanning thousands of years. Unearth the hidden truths behind 
government programs like Project Blue Book and the secretive Area 51,
while unraveling the astonishing psychic phenomena of Remote Viewing
and ESP.

From
bewildering military encounters with mysterious "foo fighters"
to modern-day unexplained sightings, this tour will challenge your
beliefs and fascinate you with the unexplained.

Buckle
up for more than just a tour! Be part of a true UFO investigation
experience, where you won't just learn about the UFO phenomena, but
discover what a UFO encounter feels like up close and personal. 


You'll
unravel the secrets behind these extraordinary sightings and discover

Little Shop of Horrors follows nerdy florist Seymour Krelborn, who finds fame and fortune after discovering a mysterious, alien plant he names "Audrey II". The R&amp;B-singing, man-eating plant is very demanding, forcing Seymour to do his bidding.
Little Shop of Horrors centers on themes of fatal ambition, greed, and the high cost of success. It explores the dangers of giving in to temptation, the exploitation of the poor, and the destruction caused by unbridled desire.
The musical features a mix of dark comedy, rock-and-roll, and doo-wop music, exploring themes of greed and sacrifice. Performed by 46 Alexandria youth, this promises to be one of the most dynamic and entertaining local production you will see this year.
