BIRDS OF A FEATHER (4f, 2m): Time-travelling scientist AP Wells journeys a century into the past to New York City. His mission? To save the passenger pigeon! He meets the play's heroine, Diana Katherine Birdwhistle, 1912 New York society fashionista, who has taken on the feather trade to stop the slaughter of birds. “Bringing Up Baby” meets “Doctor Who” in this Benedict-Beatrice madcap romp set against the first nighttime suffragettes’ march! Add to the mayhem social satire, slapstick humor, and a family of radical women and the result is a madcap love story evoking laughter on women’s changing roles while provoking more serious reflection on the nature of progress and the world’s disappearing species.
