The House of Flightless Birds by Baylee Shlichtman

The OC-centric New Play Festival presents The House of Flightless Birds, by Baylee Shlichtman, Directed by Angela Cruz Martinez, featuring Jon Lance Duran, Sara Guerrero, Nic Lara and Jose Orozco.

When undiagnosed autistic Manuel tosses a wish to a satellite to make him feel less alone, an injured sparrow crashes from the heavens into his apartment patio. Manuel takes the bird inside to nurse it back to health in secret from his family, but all does not go according to plan. And as Manuel and his older brother Augustín work on ways to escape and transcend the days and nights in their unhappy home, the bond between them grows stronger.
