The Pigeons

WRITTEN BY JOE ZARROW

ABOUT THE PLAY...
When Martin's girlfriend kicks him out of their apartment for cheating, he has to find new digs quickly in Chicago's diverse, rapidly-gentrifying West Town neighborhood. To get the only existing apartment, he'll have to compete with a rabid overgrown frat boy, a Machiavellian real estate agent, a determined Polish saleslady, an embittered barista, and a flock of very angry pigeons. How far will Martin be willing to go to stay in the neighborhood he loves so much?

PRESS...
"Without a doubt, one can arrive unprepared for Joe Zarrow's new play, The Pigeons, produced by Walkabout Theatre, at Swim Cafe's space. It's easily the cleverest, foxiest and physically wildest farce I've seen since, well, forever." - Paige Listerud, Chicago Theater Blog

“Very funny satire...recommended!” - Chicago Reader 

ABOUT WALKABOUT...
Walkabout Theater is dedicated to the production of original work and arresting theatrical events. We challenge the theatrical form, the architecture in which theater is created, and the capacity to tell a story. Through this active exploration, we seek to engage the audience in new ways that are unusual, innovative and that deepen the connection between the artist and the community.
