First off if you're expecting to see a Tippi Hedren lookalike being chased by animatronic birds in Strawberry Theatre Workshop's current production of "The Birds" then you'll be quite disappointed. This is not an adaptation of Hitchcock's film but of Daphne du Maurier's book. But even though we never really see the attackers, the evening still contains a good amount of creepiness. After all, the monsters in our minds are scarier than anything they could show us.

A Pulitzer Prize award-winning classic musical, a suspenseful stage adaptation from the story that inspired a legendary Hitchcock film, the hysterical recipient of the 2013 Tony award for Best Play, and one of the most popular musical comedies ever written make up the 2016 Huron Playhouse season.
