The Birds; or Pete & Earl Want WiFi

Written & Directed by Jake Mierva & Danylo Loutchko

The Phoenix Theater
Minneapolis, Minnesota
February 22–24, 2019

Based on The Birds, the Greek comedy by Aristophanes.

Pete and Earl are two college roommates. After enjoying some illegal substances, they scheme to get free WiFi. In their quest, they encounter some larger-than-life birds. 

Will the birds help them? Will there be other challenges? 

We can’t be sure, but it is a play, after all. I bet there may be some drama. 

And some birds.
