"The dialogue, direction and acting are solid.  Brooklyn might as well be ancient Thebes, since all the intergenerational conflicts, power struggles and tragic flaws can be found there.  Fortunately, this play makes you feel good afterwards and appreciate what you have.  Hail, tragedy. "

Presents 

A WORLD PREMIERE

THE FIREBIRD 
By Tim Errickson
Directed by Brian Gillespie
Assistant Director NJ Agwuna+
Stage Manager Nicole Kuker
Design Team: Jak Prince+, Ian Werhle,  Oona Tibbetts

Featuring: Andrea Cordaro+, Gabriel Wright*, Jacqueline Sydney*, James Ware,
Michael Romeo Ruocco* and 
R. Paul Hamilton*

Dan comes home to the Brooklyn neighborhood of his youth with a mission: to stop his best friend Ricky from destroying himself.  Ricky thinks he's the prince of the block, despite a looming debt and a creeping sense of danger all around. Pride, love, lust, and memory challenge whether either of them can outrun the fate coming to them.
