On the Mainstage

Tad, a bird-voiced tree frog tadpole, and Birdy, a lovebird who knows everything except how to be happy, form an unlikely friendship. As Tad emerges into the world, they find themselves in a messy bedroom, where Birdy has been living for much longer. Birdy has no hope or interest in the world beyond their window. The optimistic Tad eventually breaks through Birdy’s resistance. Through the ups and downs of their friendship, they grow to appreciate each other, and inspire one another to venture beyond the limitations placed on them, both real and perceived.

“Birdy, I’m with you. Whatever happens in the big blue World, we can face it together.” – Anika Dowsett, Playwright
