"Thrush, a play with songs, explores the world of the displaced and their ongoing struggle for survival after many years of violence and
war. Only an echo of the world as they know it remains. These dispossessed individuals are forced to wander a barren landscape, where no one can be trusted and a solitary existence is the best chance for survival," say press notes. Northwestern University Master of Fine Arts student Jaclyn Biskup will direct the production.

Single tickets are $20 for the general public; $18 for senior citizens and Northwestern faculty and staff; and $10 for full-time students with IDs.
