Lacking flying saucers and green skin, the characters in Theatre Exile’s production of Annie Baker’s The Aliens are strangely human, relatable to most earthlings who have gone through  breakup, felt left out, or been passionate about something. Although the set does not change and there are only three characters, the script roams from calculous to shrooms, from silence to heartfelt song. The Aliens will entertain you, but will leave Theatre Exile after this weekend. Go see it tonight (9/23) at 8 pm, tomorrow (9/24) at 4 or 8 pm, or Sunday (9/25) at 2 or 7 pm. Reduced student ticket prices are available with coupons from the PEX (Philadelphia Experience) passports available at the Student Center. The show takes place at Studio X: 1340 S. 13th street.
