Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture and Visible Theatre are pleased to present the world premiere of Clucky, the Brave Little Hen, an empowerment tale for ages 5 to 100. Written by Susanna Pitzer, directed by Julia Beardsley and featuring: Angela DeMatteo, Bill Green, Gregg Mozgala, Krista Smith, David Wagner, and Michael Quattrone. Play synopsis: Trapped in a factory, Clucky the chicken dreams of living free-range. She bravely escapes her suffocating cage to embark on an adventure. Fleeing across the countryside, Clucky meets a nature-challenged young girl, a farming grandmother, the free-range rooster of her dreams and many other animals, all the while narrowly escaping the chicken factory workers. Clucky, the Brave Little Hen is a high energy romp into subjects of sustainable farming, the cycle of life, composting, farm animals, growing vegetables, and figuring out how we, humans, fit into the overall picture. Please reserve tickets early and bring a blanket to sit on. We do have a rain location.
