Ink & Imagination

Cypherbird Projects invites audiences to experience three bold new works in INK & IMAGINATION, an evening of staged readings.

The evening features excerpts from three innovative plays by local playwrights who step outside traditional conventions of playwriting to depict the characters’ internal lives and conflicts.

About the Plays

Knight Time by Wayne L. Firestone presents the haunting story of Taurus, a Ukrainian soldier and poet who grapples with his demons through conversations with a knight puppet while battling both external enemies and internal guilt after leaving his wife and child in Kyiv.

PLUCK! or, The Trials of the Chicken in the World of the Cock by Felice Locker follows Emily’s return to her father’s commercial egg farm after a devastating bird flu outbreak, where she faces her temperamental teenage half-sister, resistance from her father, and some very concerned chickens.

Step On Me by Lisa Wagner Erickson explores the dark comedy of modern obsession as social media influencer Stacy attempts to take control of a twisted relationship with her bathroom scale, only to discover that Scale has its own agenda.
