    John Cecil’s rock musicals have crossed many borders, from New York to Prague to Bucharest. Now that his Crank Collective has returned to Austin, he presents his latest satirical comedy—boy meets girl, in a military trailer, on the Texas border: Drone… the musical. The world premier of Drone opens with two pilots stationed in a South Texas trailer to fly a remote control surveillance drone over the Texas-Mexico border. A romance leads to what can only be described as espionage-mayhem, filled with terrorists, insurgent bombers, and illegal border crossings all set to live music from a four-piece band. Currently, seven remotely controlled “predator” drones silently patrol the southern borders of the United States. Drones are unmanned aircraft sending video image to Border Patrol agents holed up in specially-fitted trailers. As in the case of Drone, the drones occasionally go awry. In early January, a Mexican drone accidentally crashed into an El Paso yard.
