In this ever-changing society of ours it's nice to see shows that take a look at different kinds of love and families.

They're the last two pandas on Earth. It's mating season. One of them falls in love with a crocodile, who is gay. And then the baby comes. In this sweet celebration of non-traditional families, Gwo Gwo the panda must balance his new found desire for Chester the crocodile with his obligations to his prescribed panda mate, Marion. The animals eat, mate, splash around in identity politics, meditate on their impending extinction, and love one another as only families can. Iron Crow will produce the world premiere of this new play by Megan Gogerty.
