New Works series 2019

WHY BIRDS FLY
by Emma Goldman-Sherman with Lynn Cohen & Shauna Bloom
​Directed by Brooke Viegut

Friday, March 29, 2019, at 7:30pm
 The Mary Rodgers Room at the Dramatist Guild

​Two women try to put their lives back together after a terrible storm.  Drawn from the Persephone & Demeter myth, Judeo-Christian tradition and the Beckett-esque physical clown-theatre, these hard-scrabbling women each seek a new beginning.  Grace wants to put her family back together, but Mary is desperate to break free.
