The Ostrich

Orville and Wilbur Wright, the Wright Brothers, have arrived in present-day Ostrich, Indiana, to build an airstrip. Chuck, a farmer, and his sister, the mayor and proprietor of a tacky bed and breakfast called the Ostrich Feather, must grapple with tradeoffs in the effort to do what’s best for the place they love. Can technological progress finally get the Ostrich Feather off the ground? The Ostrich explores the human cost of invention when fused with capitalism. The first floor of an old mansion is transformed into an ostrich-themed bed and breakfast for this site-specific dark comedy with the audience getting a seat in the middle of the absurdity.
