The Sparrow at Stray Cat Theatre

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.
