SUMMARY:MAC Event: The Freeing of the Bird
DESCRIPTION:Original Playreading Series:\n\n\n\nThe Freeing of the Bird\n\n\n\nby Ronnie Hernandezdirected by Kelci Shlierf\n\n\n\nThe Freeing of the Bird period-ambiguous drama takes the story of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and reframes its ill-intended mockery of women as genuine\, serious slights against them. It captures the story of Katherine and Bianca\, two sisters navigating a world dictated by the will of men. When their father sets an ultimatum that Katherine\, a free-spirited and romantically uninvolved woman\, must settle down to marry before her lovestruck sister will be allowed to\, tensions increase within the family until someone must give in. They struggle between dedication to themselves\, fondness for each other\, and an overarching society that expects certain things from them. How does a person who is a woman\, find her identity in anything other than what a woman is expected to be? \n\n\n\n\n\nCast\n\n\n\nKatherine: Francine OdiriBianca: Gracie HudsonPeter: Steve TraversLouis: Alex KravittGregory: Zachary LantonHorton/Pastor: Geremy Webne-BehrmanBaron: Eric RuppStage Directions: Donna Bencivengo \n\n\n\nAbout the Playwright\n\n\n\nRonnie Hernandez (He/They) is a protean theatre artisan with a passion for meaningful\, engaging and diverse works of art.
