JimmyPosterInspired by the Wikipedia article “Jimmy Carter UFO Incident,” Isaac Hopkins in the summer of 2013 staged Jimmy! A Musical with Almost No Historical Basis at his theater company in Gainesville, Georgia. Tomorrow, the musical opens in New York for a one-week run.

From Hannah Pap Rocki’s item in Atlanta magazine:

Hopkins then submitted the play in a contest sponsored by the National Theatre for Student Artists. He submits plays so often that he forgot about the application — until he missed five calls from a New York number a month later.
