The Story
ONE, TWO, SEVEN is a surreal coming-of-age film set in the mid-2000's.
The film centers on recent college grad, Lizzy, who finds herself unhappy and adrift.
In a serendipitous turn of events, Lizzy discovers 3 aliens - One, Two, and Seven - have broken into her home after they snuck away from their planet to visit Earth for the first time.
When the extraterrestrials ask if Lizzy is Earth's leader, she boldly says "Yes".

Concept Art by Artist: Mary Telly
After Lizzy and the aliens spend the night partying, they unwind by a bonfire in the late hours of the night. A vulnerable Lizzy opens up to her new space friends about her insecurities and fears of the future. One, Two, and Seven console her and offer Lizzy a much needed fresh perspective on her situation.
The tender moment is interrupted by the return of Lizzy's parents and the aliens depart --
but not before they leave Lizzy with some final words of solace.

Hi, my name is Camborley Gleason, and I'm so excited to be working on the production of One, Two, Seven. Growing up with a space-obsessed dad, I couldn't imagine a more perfect role to take on than playing the character "One." I'm especially excited to be a part of a coming-of-age story while I'm also in a coming-of-age moment in my own life. I'm currently a junior at Michigan State University, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Communication with a focus in media, and I'm grateful to be a part of a production that explores a stage of life that can feel alien to navigate.

Since performing in front of family as a child, Katie Snoap knew that performing is what she was meant to do. She got her start acting in theater at 6 years old in a production of the ugly duckling. She continued to perform throughout high school, and after receiving a bachelor or science degree, she started acting in student films. She then studied acting in NYC at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. While she has switched to more on-camera acting, she stays close to her theater roots by belting Broadway music in her car. When she's off set, she continues to improve upon her skills and knowledge by doing stand up comedy, improv, and analyzing movies and TV shows. For fun, she likes to travel, and if she is stuck in the snow, she is playing cards with friends, specifically the Midwest classic: euchre. Check out more of her work here.
