Congratulations Rachel and thank you for your powerful, emotionally driven, and heartfelt portrayal of Edith in “Too Many Dead Birds on the Sidewalk” at the SheNYC Festival.

Thank you to the panel of industry judges for this recognition and, as Rachel said in her awards speech, “shoutout @shenycarts for giving so many opportunities to so many underrepresented people.”

Aleyna Karaca’s TOO MANY DEAD BIRDS ON THE SIDEWALK is on stage July 15 and July 17 at the Lynn F. Angelson Theater as part of the SheNYC Arts Summer Theater Festival.

It’s 1953, and Edith’s husband Clark has just been promoted to second-in-command at the Atomic Energy Commission. To celebrate, she invites Clark’s new boss, his femme-fatale wife, and a couple of high school friends over for a cocktail party. Despite rising domestic tensions and the re-ignition of an old flame, Edith’s keeping the party under control—until a dead bird drops from the sky. Meanwhile, stolen data exposing the effects of the AEC’s nuclear testing threatens to surface. As Edith watches bird after bird fall, she’s left to determine what’s real and what isn’t, and who—or what—to trust.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
Wednesday, July 15 @ 7:30pm
Friday, July 17 @ 8:30pm

Tickets are $40, and can be purchased online at shenycarts.org.

The Lynn F. Angelson Theater is located at 136 East 13th Street in the East Village.
