Nightbird by R. Eric Thomas & directed by Marcus McQuirter

March 3 – 25, 2023

​Join us for the world premiere of this wildly funny, topical,  and thought-provoking new play.

Chelle, an artist, has recently purchased her childhood home in Baltimore; her brother Willard is working on refurbishing it. But the home renovation takes a backseat as Willard prepares for a Juneteenth festival in the adjacent park and Chelle struggles with a recent commission: What should be built in place of a
recently removed Confederate monument? An eyesore. And an opportunity.

Why we love it: This play nails the difficult task of being wildly funny and thought-provoking. We’re incredibly excited to introduce Austin to this piece and Mr. Thomas’ work.
