Coming Soon! Clucky, the Brave Little Hen
Factory chicken, Clucky, dreams of living
free-range. She braves an escape from factory life to embark on an

free-range rooster of her dreams, all the while narrowly escaping
the chicken factory workers who want her back.
"Clucky, the Brave Little Hen," is a high energy romp into subjects of sustainable farming, the cycle of life, composting, farm animals, growing vegetables, and figuring out where we, humans, fit into the overall picture. Commissioned by Visible Theatre in NYC, "Clucky" is scheduled to begin performances this summer. Cast of 6 Length: 40 minutes First performance: September 2008
