THE WORLD'S LARGEST ALUMINUM FOIL BALL

 

FULL-LENGTH STAGE MUSICAL COMEDY

Book, Music & Lyrics by Robert John Ford

​

Business is slow at a roadside attraction run by a simple rural couple and their socially-challenged son... until mysterious strangers appear, eager to view the main novelty item - the world's largest aluminum foil ball.  When it is discovered that the ball has recently been included on the Department of Homeland Security's list of potential terrorist targets, they become suspicious of the "tourists," their true motives, and the curious timing of their visit.  This dark musical comedy takes the audience on a road trip to a deep red state, where the main culture is the culture of fear.  

 

Premiered August 2007 at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, where the St. Paul Pioneer Press named it a "must see" production.​​  To read the review, click HERE.​
