Revealing more than a handful of subtle character monologues and folk songs, in "The Bird Club: Letter to Sandra Bernhard", Darren shows us a collection of wistful and melancholy, yet at the same time optimistic, people who challenge the viewer to come along for the ride of his sanguine daydreams. Playing everything from a former stripper turned bored Brooklyn housewife, to a transgendered lesbian pining for true love, to a visionary anthropologist, to an optimistic HIV+ housecleaner, Darren gives us real life in sixty-five minutes without the commercials of prime-time television. His vision is one that moves from despair to hope in an attempt to inspire! $8.00 PHOENIX II (UPSTAIRS) Saturday 8 5:30 PM Directed by Kristina Goodnight and Marilee Talkington Past regional and community theater credits include Chorus Member in
