Regretfully, So the Birds Are
- Written by Julia Izumi
- Directed by Jenny Koons
Co-produced with WP Theater
World Premiere
Arson. Affairs. Incest. Murder... are only the beginning of problems for the Whistler siblings. Mora’s gotta find her birth mother, Neel’s gotta find himself, and Illy’s gotta keep her piece of the sky... but the birds have other plans. Julia Izumi’s Regretfully, So the Birds Are is a wild, farcical tragedy that gleefully flips the human quest for self-discovery on its head.
Special thanks to the 21st Century ILGWU Heritage Fund for its generous support of this production.
