July 31 - Aug 1, 2009 Beka in "THE POWER OF BIRDS"
July 31 - Aug 1, 2009 Beka in "THE POWER OF BIRDS"
as a part of Phoenix Theater's
Directed by Daniel Schay
A highly theatrical family drama about the ties that bind and the love that sets you free.
THE POWER OF BIRDS is a new play about three generations of a highly unusual family.
Zoe (played by Beka) and Charlie are very dissimilar twins. Loretta is a modern mom – fit, attractive, busy.
Grandma Lily divides her time increasingly between here and now and a very interesting world of her own. Can these generations find common ground – even if it is up in the air? Funny, charming, and magical writing from an important and acclaimed New York playwright, Robin Rice Lichtig
