DESCRIPTION:The Bird Cage\n\nby Arthur Laurents\n\n\n\nWritten by Arthur Laurents the celebrated playwright behind West Side Story and Gypsy The Bird Cage is a sharp and unsparing drama set in the smoky world of a Manhattan nightclub. Wally Williams is a man who will do whatever it takes to get to the top. Through manipulation\, intimidation\, and outright betrayal\, he claws his way to control of the Bird Cage and everyone in it. But power built on deception is a fragile thing\, and when the club's finances begin to crumble\, Wally turns on the very people who helped him rise.\n\n\n\nSet against the gritty backdrop of mid-century New York\, The Bird Cage is a morally charged portrait of ambition unchecked and the human wreckage it leaves behind. Laurents writes with the same unflinching honesty that would later define his greatest works\, exploring themes of loyalty\, exploitation\, and the dark cost of the American hunger for success.\n\n\n\nRarely produced since its 1950 Broadway premiere\, this is a unique opportunity to experience a lost gem from one of theatre's most enduring voices.\n\n\n\nStaged Reading\, Drama\n\nRating: PG-13\n\n\n\nRuntime: 90 minutes. 15 minute intermission.\n\nAdmission: $15.00\n\n\n\nCast:\n\nKathryn Steib - Emily Williams\n\nAustin Featherstone - Frank\n\nBarbara Stigler - Narrator\n\nNathan Schaefer - Ferdy\n\nAdam Frontera - Joe\n\nKarisa Perik - India Grey\n\nElizabeth Havican - Pearl/Renie Renay\n\nPaula Nordwig - Mr. Ripley/Mr. Mack\n\nElmo Wendorf Jr. - Wally Williams\n\nRob Krohlow - Cork\n\nAmaris Bates - Eloise\n\nStephan Cernek - Vic\n\n\n\nProduction Team:\n\nDirected by Elena Donley\n\nProduced by Kit Seidel\n\n\n\nTHE BIRD CAGE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.com
