Thursday-Saturday
Birds of a Feather
Birds of a Feather, a play by Marc Acito and directed by Ann Bronson, is the latest production of the Ten Fifteen Theater (1015 Commercial), continues this week with shows at 7:30pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 23, 24, 25.
Birds of a Feather recounts the story of Roy and Silo, the two Central Park Zoo chinstrap penguins who partnered, adopted an egg, hatched and raised a chick together. Roy and Silo are no strangers to the spotlight. In 2005, they were the subject of a widely contested children’s book, And Tango Makes Three, by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson. The book, temporarily pulled from school bookshelves in Loudoun County, became one of the most banned books in the US.
Tickets $20 and are available online or at the door. Makes sure to check the theater website before the show for the latest COVID policies.
