About Aliens vs. Cheerleaders & This is Your Brain on Social Media

After aliens abduct and scan two unsuspecting teenagers' brains to find their leader, they are led to Principal Forsman of Saint Valley High School. Little do the power-hungry aliens suspect that the school's cheerleading squad is full of brains, brawn, and butt-kicking skills. But when the cheerleaders are overpowered, it's up to hipster outsider Molly and her nerdy sidekick Lewis to step in and save the planet. (This play was specially commissioned by Playscripts for high school actors.)

Something must be done about the children! When a school stages an intervention for three of their most social-media obsessed students, the ultra-righteous Amanda Boseman arrives armed with an array of cautionary tales. Firefighters are too busy taking selfies to fight fires! Romances are dictated by who the internet ships! Anybody could be a bot! Convinced yet? Inspired by interviews with teens about their online lives, This Is Your Brain on Social Media takes on both social-media madness and the grown-up hysteria over kids these days..
