Photo FLASH: IF WE WERE BIRDS at Connecticut Repertory Theatre

By:

Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT) stages its second Studio Theatre production of the 2018-19 season with "If We Were Birds" by Erin Shields. Helene Kvale will direct. Performances will be held in the Studio Theatre from March 28-April 7, 2019. For tickets and information, please visit crt.uconn.edu or call (860) 486-2113.

The war in Athens is over. Love blossoms as Procne leaves her beloved sister Philomela for a new life with husband King Tereus. Bored, Philomela begs to see her sister when the unexpected happens and her life is transformed to mythic proportions. Drawing on stories from real life testimonies from 20th century conflict, this empowering revenge tragedy earned Erin Shields the 2010 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play. A powerful drama, examining the horrors of war through a contemporary re-telling of the Greek myth of Philomela.

Evening performances start at 7:30 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and at 8:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Select matinee performances start at 2:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Single tickets are available now for $33. All student tickets are $10. Discounts are available for seniors and groups of 10 or more.

Please call the box office at 860.486.2113 for tickets and additional information or visit www.crt.uconn.edu for specific show dates and times because performance schedules vary and are subject to change.
