Parrot Play
By Molly McFadden
Director/Dramaturg: Michael Glavan
Associate Director: Melissa Crum
Two old college friends and their husbands endure a high stakes and last-minute reunion that... doesn’t quite stir up the good ol’ times of 40 years prior. Chaos, confessions, a little weed, and an unruly parrot make for a bizarre and revelatory night as four septuagenarians navigate their next chapter of life.
The James Levin Theatre is ADA-compliant featuring a patron elevator and an all-gender, wheelchair-accessible restroom.
Ensemble Members:
Susan Lucier, Peter Toomey, Barbara Howitt, George Roth

A New Play Development Program

Test Flight is a multi-week series that showcases new work on its way to full production. This popular event provides local and national artists with the keys to the theatre and opportunity to co-produce original works-in-progress. The series encourages risk-taking and entrepreneurial spirit towards creating.
Recent successes include Showin’ Up Black by Jeanne Madison (Feb. 2025), Our Lady of Common Sorrows (Fall 2023), Alter by Tania Benites (Feb. 2024). Each of these were developed in Test Flight.
