Hailed by many as a new great American play, Birds on a Wire is an inspiration to us all. As the Rositzky family cling to their home, brother against brother, father against son, they move toward acceptance of each other. American history and the Dust Bowl intersect with those courageous men and women who never left their farms. This music theatre piece plays out as this Jewish family fights home foreclosure, the dust, and the lies they tell each other as they unearth their truths and walk toward redemption.
