The Return of Halley's Comet: A Musical

by Andrea Green

Musical / In the year 1910, a friendship was born in the town of Centuryville, between non-verbal, bizarre-looking aliens, “Halien” beings, and a young girl, Jenny Pontillo. Seventy-five years later, the Haliens return, looking for their friend. Prejudice and intolerance, in the town, promoted by Mayor Maggie Banks, forces the capture of the Haliens, with plans to sell them to the circus. Maggie’s daughter Nelly, the Professor, and others, try to “find a way” to understand and communicate with the Haliens. They come to believe the Haliens are peaceful and acutely sensitive to human feelings. The courtroom trial unfolds, revealing the mystery of the Haliens, who eventually return to the sky, transforming the town of Centuryville, “positively”, forever.
