Is there intelligent life in the universe?

One-woman show aims to answer question

The search is on in the award-winning one woman comedy, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe by Jane Wagner. The show stars one of Oklahoma City’s finest and most beloved actresses, Brenda Williams who will portray over 16 roles including the narrator of the story, Trudy, the bag lady.

Trudy befriends aliens from outer space and takes them on a journey meeting all walks of life on planet Earth, including a 15 year old punk performance artist, a jaded socialite, a male swinger turned health nut, a 70’s radical feminist, a tripped out prostitute and so many more eccentric characters.

“This play is a celebration of Brenda Williams and her amazing talents,” says director Robert Matson. “The audience will watch this wonderful actress weave in and out of one role to the other.”

Williams has performed with The Pollard Theatre, Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, Carpenter Square and is also involved with the popular improvisational group, Everybody and Their Dog.
