The king is lost, the queen is buried alive, the kingdom is in ruins, and all is bleak... but this is a comedy after all! 

When nobody else's worthy of the title hero, it's up to twins Renzo and Barbarina to unravel the mystery of the Green Bird in time to save everything from themselves. The wild, chaotic road to "happily ever after" is paved with curses, clowns, demons, enchanted fruit, and a talking statue who keeps losing control of the story he's narrating. This ain't your grandma's commedia dell'arte.

A short version of this play is also available.

REVIEWS:

"Laugh-out-loud funny."

 Chicago Reader

"A magical, wild fairy tale filled with royalty, clowns, demons, curses, mysteries, and a talking statue, who, as narrator, is comically losing control over the story [...] a colorful spectacle of humor, music, dance, and puppeteering."
