Here’s what the critics are saying…

|
“…the performances in Fisch’s supple staging are deliciously on point” – Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“…Lynn Rosen’s play works both as a biting critique of how our society treats women and as an insightful rumination on the ways unfulfilled hopes and desires can haunt or even poison one’s life.” – Dmitry Samarov, Chicago Reader
“The Firebirds Take the Field” encompasses what Rivendell does so well: challenge preconceived notions and let them fight back.” – Kevin Greene, Newcity Stage – Recommended
“…a twisty script that relishes its surprises, and clearly juggles a complex tangle of relationships, slights, intrigues, and unspoken fears… graced with a fine tuned sense of humor…”– Ben Kemper, Chicago Theatre and Concert Reviews – Enthusiastically Recommended

About The Firebirds Take the Field…
It’s been 25 years since molecular neuroscientist Avery Kahn left Highland Falls, NY. But when 18 local cheerleaders are stricken with a mysterious ailment, Avery reluctantly returns home to tackle what the locals derisively call the “girl disease.” Based on actual events, Firebirds is a fascinating and often hilarious investigation of the pressures of growing up.
Thursdays – Saturdays at 8pm & Saturdays at 4pm through May 27th!
