A workshop production

It’s 2011 and an animal collector in Zanesville, Ohio has set every one of his 50 exotic pets free. St. Francis of Assisi shows up to help during this wild, dark roam around the countryside. It’s Animal Farm meets The Wizard of Oz meets a road trip comedy with a late ‘90s soundtrack. This pastoral comedy is based on a true story.

In an effort to make our performances financially accessible to those who might not otherwise be able to attend, we offer a limited number of $5 Access Tickets for each performance.

Sunday, Feb 22 – Masked Performance. Masks will be required for attendees on this date.

Friday, Feb 27 – Student Night. Free pizza, plus a post-show discussion with the artists.

Please note that all late audience members will be seated at the house manager’s discretion due to the actors using all entrances.
