THE BIRDS BY CONOR MCPHERSON,
DIRECTED BY THOM SCHNARRE
featuring Carolyn Kodes, Jeremiah J. Lowry, Krystal Moya, and Lincoln Machula
Conor McPherson boldly adapts for the stage the Daphne du Maurier short story that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror film—a gripping, unsettling, and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse.
The play takes us to an isolated house, where strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from the relentless masses of attacking birds which are hitting the eastern seacoast in the not-too-distant future. There they find relative sanctuary, but not comfort or peace; there’s no electricity, little food, and a constant sense that someone lurks in the shadows to take what little comforts the couple shares. When the young and alluring Julia seeks refuge with the couple, her presence brings both unsettling news of the outside world and a growing discord in their claustrophobic existence. Survival becomes even more elusive as paranoia takes hold of their makeshift fortress.
Continuring performances of The Birds will be performed from Wednesday, November 9 through Sunday, November 13, 2016. All shows start at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $10 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays and $15 on Fridays and Saturdays.

Give a gift online
Have you visited the theatre to treat yourself to our new chairs? They were made possible by the generosity of our donors, many of whom gave online through GoFundMe<http://www.gofundme.com/cg5xrktk>.
Now that we have our chairs, there are some other projects that we'd like to bring to fruition. These include: a long overdue production budget update/increase, a search for rehearsal and/or storage space, technological improvements that will bring the theatre into the 21st century, and new signage on our Boneyard River Walk side.
See more details about our future projects, and give a gift online now, at our GoFundMe page.<http://www.gofundme.com/cg5xrktk>

EVERY BRILLIANT THING
BY DUNCAN MACMILLAN AND JONNY DONAHOE
DIRECTED BY KATIE BALDWIN PROSISE
DECEMBER 1–17, 2016
feat. Jason Dockins and William Anthony Sebastian Rose II in alternate casting
You’re six years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me.
You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own.
A one-person interactive play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.
