People were coming onto the stage each pair that came up had smiles on their faces, happy about life, until society walks in and controls them.

The Bird Breaks the Cage is an inspirational play that will change your life. If you watched the show, you wouldn't have regretted it, and hopefully it gave you something to think about. The show was moving and it was an awesome night. I'm looking forward to the next production and you'll definitely see me
