Annie Jump is a 13-year-old science genius whose alien-obsessed father is the laughingstock of Strawberry, KS. One night in August, a meteor falls, and Annie meets Althea, an intergalactic supercomputer that manifests itself in the form of a mean girl with really great hair. Althea's here to help Annie take humanity from the earth to the stars, but being the Chosen One isn't all glory. What is Althea hiding? And what will Annie have to sacrifice to fulfill her destiny? A play for all audiences about finding your place in the universe and intelligent life in your neighborhood.

“A masterpiece of deft, taut, economical writing. Hardy introduces, defines and develops characters with laser-like precision, creating sympathetic, likable folks the audience can't help caring about and a fast-moving and engaging story with a good dose of humor.” ⁠—⁠Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Showrunners take note. Hardy … takes the best elements of contemporary cultural references, social media, and pop science and turns them into something more than the sum of those parts ⁠—⁠ an out-of-this-world, all-ages celebration of nerdiness, empowerment, and love.” ⁠—⁠DC Theatre Scene
