Stray Cat Theatre Presents THE SPARROW, 9/23-10/8

THE SPARROW, Conceived by Nathan Allen and co-written by Chris Mathews and Jake Minton, will play at the Stray Cat Theatre from September 23 - October 8, 2011. The show will be directed by Ron May.

Originating at The House Theatre of Chicago, Stray Cat proudly brings the Southwest Premiere of this wildly adventurous and blazingly theatrical new work. Think a hybrid of The Sweet Hereafter, Heroes and Carrie...and you're part way there. The Sparrow is the dark tale of Emily Book, the only survivor of an accident that killed her entire elementary school class. The story begins with orphaned Emily's return home to a town that has yet to recover from the tragedy. As the town struggles to accept the strange girl who reminds them of what they lost, Emily attempts to hide the special powers that make her different while navigating the treacherous territory of being a high school senior.

"The Sparrow is exciting, original and emotional. If you're lucky, you'll find a ticket." - CurtainUp

**PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THURSDAY PERFORMANCES WILL BEGIN AT 7PM**
