The elusive black-billed cuckoo is notoriously difficult to find — and it's the bird Ruth has spent years searching for. Over 24 hours in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, a close-knit birding group is thrown into chaos when some members glimpse the rare bird and others don’t. Don’t miss this world premiere comedy from an award-winning playwright — known for his “intricate, delightful comic drama” (The New York Times) — at San Diego’s renowned theatre company.
