Their elaborate stage rendition of Ridley Scott’s Alien made headlines across the country for its amazing aesthetic on a shoestring budget; so much so, in fact, that it grabbed the attention of the creator himself!
Though Ridley Scott had admittedly only seen snippets of the performance, he was thoroughly impressed by the performances and costume design and even penned a letter to the group expressing his support.

Not wanting the group to be limited by something as simple as financial restraints, Scott forwarded some cash in order for the cast and crew to put on an encore performance of the space drama—something many audience members were clamoring for.
Finally, he left them with his two cents regarding which of daunting production to pursue next.
“How about your next TEAM production being ‘Gladiator’?”
Then Sigourney weighed in via Twitter, she was equally impressed but also left them with a grave warning:
