Photo Flash: The Road Theatre Company Presents World Premiere of BIRDER

Two exceptional plays, one extraordinary playwright, THE ROAD THEATRE COMPANY and Taylor Gilbert, Founder/Artistic Director together with Sam Anderson, Artistic Director, in association with CENTER THEATRE GROUP announce the fourth show of its 2015-2016 - 25th Anniversary Season, the World Premiere of BIRDER, written by Julie Marie Myatt and directed by Dan Bonnell. BIRDER will run in repertory with JOHN IS A FATHER, also by Julie Marie Myatt. BIRDER began previews on Monday, April 25 at 8pm; opened on Friday, April 29 at 8pm and will run through Sunday, June 19 at the Road on Lankershim, 5108 Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood.

BIRDER follows middle-aged accountant Roger, who, upon discovering a house finch nesting outside his home in Los Feliz, finds himself forced to question his most basic assumptions about what it means to be a father, husband, and breadwinner. But do his avian explorations represent a deep search for meaning, or just a city-dweller's mid-life crisis? This funny, moving world premiere by Jerome Fellow and award-winning playwright Julie Marie Myatt explores the human need for silence, as Roger finds both terror and solace in Los Angeles' unique urban ecology. BIRDER was Commissioned and Developed by Center Theatre Group.

Performances are Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Ticket prices are $34; Students and Seniors are $17.50; Previews are $15.00.
