Crackers
A story of two parrots who are definitely not “birds of a feather.”
Eric, a fifty-year-old scarlet macaw enjoys reading the paper that lines his cage and watching his favourite daytime soap opera. Then young green amazon parrot Salvadora shows up and occupies the cage next to him. Salvadora is not at all happy and constantly complains to Eric. Eric tries to ignore her but then begins to suspect that Salvadora is much more than the whining boarder she purports to be.
Crackers premiered in 2012 at the Orleans Star-L’Express Music Rehearsal Hall, Shenkman Arts Centre, Ottawa Ontario, by Tale Wagging Theatre, directed by Arras Hopkins. This production received an ARTicipate Endowment Fund grant.
In June 2015, a revised version of Crackers was produced by Tale Wagging Theatre for the Ottawa Fringe Festival.
