Photo Flash: THE SPARROW Soars To The Stage At Studio 3 Performing Arts

By:

Ten years ago Emily Book, the lone survivor of a horrible school bus accident, was sent away from the tiny town of Spring Farm. Now, in her senior year, Emily must return in order to graduate from high school. When she arrives, shy and guarded, Emily is unwillingly thrust into the whirlwind of Spring Farm High. Guided by her biology teacher, Mr. Christopher, and befriended by head cheerleader, Jenny McGrath, Emily must learn to fit in with her classmates while yearning to stay out of the spotlight.

But when Jenny's life is threatened in a dangerous stunt at the homecoming basketball game, Emily reveals her true powers as she saves Jenny's life in a stunning display of telekinetic heroism. Thus, Spring Farm's own darling superhero, "The Sparrow," is born.

Can this strange girl with even stranger powers be the hero that her town is longing for, or will her dark secret destroy them all? The Sparrow taps into the fundamental aching of adolescence-fearing that we're somehow different while hoping that we're somehow special.

Opening weekends Friday, February 23 - Sunday, March 4. Studio 3 Performing Arts, 511 W. Guadalupe Rd., Suite 12 Gilbert, AZ. Visit https://limelight.ticketleap.com/sparrow/ to purchase your tickets.
