In The Sparrow, a small-town girl returns home 10 years after a tragic accident that claimed the lives of her entire class. As the town struggles to move on from the loss and accept her, she must hide the special powers that make her different and come to terms with her past. The Chicago Sun-Times called The Sparrow, "A three-dimensional graphic novel about the passion of family and community life, the importance of myth, and the pain of exile."
There will be one preview performance on Friday, October 23 at 8pm and opening is set for Saturday, October 24 at 8pm. The regular running schedule is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8pm through November 21.
