🐦 Now playing at APAC 🐦 13-year-old Edie, daughter of a single mom, granddaughter of an ailing grandfather, wakes up each day singularly focused on one thing - saving the birds. Her methods are bold, unorthodox, occasionally illegal, and often futile. Never deterred, Edie dedicates every moment to her cause - that is, until she encounters a new and unexpected distraction. Kyle plays baseball. Kyle is popular. Kyle spoke to Edie for more than 30 seconds. Is this friendship? Could there be more to life than crashing town council meetings and passing out homemade buttons? Probably not...but maybe.

Check out 's "Edie Saves the Birds" to find out.

Date: Now until April 23
Ticket Price: $30
Running Time: 90 min
Intermission: No

Thurs: 8:00 PM
Fri: 8:00 PM
