Thursday, June 13th @ 8pm: Birds on a Wire
"Couldn't be more timely." ––Theaterspeak
VOICE Theater presents Birds on a Wire, the story of a Jewish family in 1930s Texas during the first greatest ecological disaster of the 20th century, the Dust Bowl. Amidst the economic and environmental disaster around them, a family is chipped away and held together by pride, jealousy, infidelity, joy, disappointment, and love.
Birds on a Wire tells the story of the disastrous human consequences when short-term economic goals are placed ahead of environmental safety.The fight of the Rositzky family mirrors the fight of millions of contemporary Americans fighting to save their homes and communities from the potentially disastrous consequences of fracking.
