About
The increasingly visible impacts of climate change serve as the urgent backdrop for this loving examination of a mixed race family with differing beliefs. As ten years go by in 90 luminous minutes, a father and daughter grapple with truly seeing and hearing the people they care about most: each other.

Birds of North America Featured in The Washington Post
“For a long time, I’d wanted to write about the human experience of climate change. I’d never seen that done.
Two people meeting in the same place at the same time of year over a decade, allowed me to not only show how the characters were changing but also how the climate was changing.”
- Anna Ouyang Moench
"[A] triumph! Birds of North America is not only effective but moving...”
“…[A] beautifully crafted… lyrical, funny, and painful play that should be on your must-see list.”
“The story unfolds in detailed layers like the scattered leaves that usher in each passing year.”
“…carefully considered and gorgeously acted…”
“...remarkably familiar...time movingly spent…”
“affective and humorous...a thought-provoking and pleasurable 90 minutes.”
“[An] impactful production...handled with a deft touch.”
