Written by Go Comedy! resident members Jen Hansen (Madison Heights) and Pete Jacokes (Ferndale), Space Fight takes a unique look at the "Star Wars" story exploring the politics of the Empire, the grass roots campaign of the Rebellion, and the emotional struggles of Darth Vader, while poking fun at the ridiculousness of one of the world's most beloved sci-fi sagas. This hilarious show will entertain die-hard fans as well as those who have never seen the films. Directed by Jacokes with assistance from Hansen, Space Fight features Tim Kay (Ann Arbor) Sean May (East Point) Matt Naas (Ferndale) Travis Pelto (Canton) Chris Petersen (Ann Arbor) and Bob Wieck (Wixom)
