Grand Feature Film Orchestra - Teenagers from Outer Space - movie with live orchestra

Presented by Grand Arts Consortium

GFFO - Teenagers from Outer Space

From the movie orchestra who brought you Plan Nine from Outer Space and Little Shop of Horrors, The GRAND FEATURE FILM ORCHESTRA presents TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE! 

Alien interplanetary teenage ranchers in flying saucers come to Earth to raise their man-eating monster lobster herd. That's right!! Gigantic lobsters threaten all of humanity! Thor (the evil alien) wreaks havoc, as Derick (the good alien) and his earthgirl, Betty, work to save the world from destruction by seafood.

Will they succeed? Find out as we present TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE – LIVE orchestra with the movie!

There is much to unpack in this fantastic adventure film directed by would-be low-budget movie-king Tom Graeff. Teenagers From Outer Space was created in 1959 with a paltry $14,000 budget. Their sci-fi movie props had toy ray guns, a painted toy flying saucer, and a plastic model human skeleton. Add stilted B-movie acting and close-up shots of real lobsters, and you have a cult classic with extra hilarious excitement! All it needs is a brand new musical score, spooky theremins, a live orchestra, and other fun surprises to turn it into an unforgettable fun time!

The Grand Feature Film Orchestra will present a live musical score with the movie using their own improvisations as well as excerpts from --
Arnold Schoenberg's  Five Pieces for Orchestra (Fünf Orchesterstücke), Op. 16
Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, Op. 36
George Gershwin's An American in Paris

Both live in-person and online streaming tickets are available.
