Sigourney Weaver Shocks Cast & Audience with Suprise Appearance at High School ALIEN Play

Last March, we reported on a stage production of Alien pulled off by the drama department at North Bergen High School in New Jersey. The play got national buzz, leading to an encore performance on Alien Day sponsored by franchise mastermind Ridley Scott himself. At that performance (last Friday), series staple Sigourney Weaver (who made the character of Ellen Ripley iconic) showed up to surprise the cast, crew, and audience.
