About this event
SYNOPSIS: In Aristophanes' hilarious comedy "The Birds," two disenchanted Athenians escape the chaos of their city to find a utopia among the birds. They convince the feathered friends to build a magical city in the sky called Cloudcuckooland, where they can rule over both birds and gods! As their wild plans take flight, they encounter a series of absurd characters and hilarious situations, all while poking fun at Athenian society and politics. It's a whimsical romp about ambition, freedom, and the joy of dreaming big! AUDITIONS: Thursday, December 19th from 5PM-8PM Material: Full Audition Packets will be posted on your Google Classroom.
