Coming soon to Arts on the Lake

The first reading of a new play by Ron Hutchinson (Tango Diaries / Lookin' for Elvis)

   In 1851 one hundred and fifty London house sparrows were captured and brought to New York. Against all odds, sixteen of them managed to survive the voyage, a ferocious first winter, and the attacks of local wildlife who resented these new immigrants.

       This play and its music celebrate the sparrows' adaptation to the New World -- an adaptation so successful that these founding families now have over two hundred million direct descendants.

       This epic tale of a daughter who finds her pride will be performed by the sparrows themselves.

       Directed by James Shearwood, the cast includes returning and well-known actors Rich O'Brien, Pamela Jayne Morgan, Quinn Vogt-Welch, Harry WallerKirsty Woodward, James Shearwood, Kevin O'Brien, Maia Guest and musicians Greg Doyle and Wendy Matthews, aka The EduKated Fleas.

Stage Manager: Carrie Ford.

Ron Hutchinson's connection to AotL began with Clinging to the Iceberg, continued with Lookin' for Trouble, and then last April's Tango Diaries.
