A BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO

By MAT SMART
Directed by MARY ANN RODGERS

Monday, June 9 & Tuesday, June 10 at 7 PM

Brooklyn birdwatchers unite at Prospect Park in a close-knit group that is turned upside down over a rare bird sighting. A comedy that explores the complexities of loss, the power of wonder, and how to move on after missing out.

Far from your average staged reading, we give our actors just enough blocking, light and sound design to get started and then we let adrenaline do the rest! Yes, there will be scripts in hands, but there will also be bold action and riveting drama. Subscribe to the CSRS for a perfect pairing to our mainstage season.

❋ Run-time: 1 hour & 45 minutes with no intermission
