Current production
CHICKADEE
One-woman play
Dahlia is a pigeon-loving street clown in New York who wants people to see beauty in what the city ignores. When she becomes an overnight sensation as Chickadee the Sexy Clown, attention, cameras and corporate power begin to reshape her body, her art and her sense of self.
The stage production is being redeveloped for its next life, with a new script and a new visual, costume and technical identity.
Now Dahlia must find her way back to the clown she was.
