It is and is on tour in Romania (in Romanian) and has been produced in Spanish in Zaragoza, Spain and two acclaimed productions in Mexico City, Mexico.

"Garret's edgy script takes a darkly comic view of the chaotic future we are headed for," says Director Kim T. Sharp. "If you can't choose what you do, can you still be who you are?"

One of the show's two stars, Francesca Ravera says, "Through 'The Hummingbirds', audiences are immersed in a chilling world where personal freedoms are constrained, compelling us to reflect on the direction of our society."

The Hummingbirds features set design by Emily Hao-Yun Hsieh, sound design by Jason Lee. The Stage Manager is Kate Gavin.
