The journey to the moon has begun! Name a better time to send a press invite to moonwatchers!  Written by Nigel Berkeley and Corey Farrell and directed by Nealie Tinlin running from April 30th, 2026 – May 17th, 2026 at the Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave. This is a Chicago premiere! moonwatchers was a "smash hit at the Minnesota Fringe Festival"! 

It is Rocko and Allen's job to watch the moon, and it is really quite boring. Night after night, they time the sequences exactly - the cow jumps, the comet soars, but NEVER the alien spaceship.  This is until the dastardly space criminal Johnny Rumble steals the moon, taking it to the far-off space desert of the Midnight Sun. This course of events sends the moonwatchers on an intergalactic space odyssey filled with music, love, new friendships, and epic showdowns to win back the one, the only, the Moon.

"Here at Lazy Susan Theatre Co., the moon shows up in just about every production we do. So why not do a show about the dudes whose job it is to watch it!...It's cute, quirky, and out-of-this-world charming. And what perfect timing around NASA's Artemis II mission around the moon!!!" -Nealie Tinlin (Director)
