Northern Manhattan’s UP Theater Company presents a different kind of animal farm in the world premiere of Lizzie Donahue’s “A Barn Play”

This timely and darkly comic fable explores the power of creating art amidst oppression when a cast of farm animals rehearses their show.
Directed by Leslie Kincaid Burby+.

Owl (Rik Walter*) attempts to rehearse his new play with a lively and
opinionated ensemble of farm animals: Chicken (April J. Barber), Pig
(Ariel Blake), Dog (Adam Burby), Cow (Erin Nelson), Sheep (Mary Albert), and
Cat (Denisse Estefany Mendoza). Tensions flare when a crisis befalls the
animals and the ensemble rejects Owl's arty attempt for one of their
own devising - one that sheds light on our own relationships with animals,
children, and art. This provocative dark comedy asks, “At a time of
crisis, who will stand up and be the pig, and who will be the owl?”
