The Growing Stage presents
the World Premiere of Boy Sees
Flying Saucer from March 9th
through March 25th. The play,
written by Mike Czuba and based
on the true and original story by
Brian Dorscht, was the winner
of the theatre’s 2017 New Play-
Reading Festival. The production
is directed by Danny Campos,
veteran actor and teaching artist
at The Growing Stage.
In the play, Bobby Radcliffe is
sure he has lost his brand-new
bicycle. After his parents go out
for the evening, he is left with
his sister and instructions from
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 44
by Gary Wien
his father to “make sure the bike
is found and in the garage” be-
fore Bobby goes to bed. Frus-
trated that he can’t find his bike,
he returns home and decides
to tell a lie to his gullible sister;
“A flying saucer came down
and took my bike.” Half believ-
ing what he says, she asks him
for details of how it happened
– and a story starts to develop.
The sister runs to the phone to
tell her best friend what Bobby
just told her. The best friend
tells her father who is the town
Sheriff and tells her he is coming
over to the house.
