The Sparrow
Conceived and Directed by Nathan Allen
Co-written with Chris Mathews and Jake Minton
October 22—November 8, 2009
East Coast Premiere
After garnering critical and popular acclaim with The Sparrow's debut in Chicago, writer and original director Nathan Allen will direct the East Coast Premiere of this riveting fable.
Orphaned teenager Emily Book returns to the town she once called home to finish her final year of high school--but this time, she's carrying a secret. An ordinary teenager with extraordinary abilities, Emily must embrace her supernatural powers and confront the truth about her past. An exciting tale of teens and telekinesis.
"... a fresh, guileless, quirky and entirely lovable celebration of high school memories and small-town goodness."

"The Sparrow literally flies!"
