A squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Water. Gun. Argument and challenge what we choose to believe. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.
The Butterfly Queen
by Christian Kiley
One teacher protects her class from danger. One bystander helps someone timid overcome a fear. One stranger saves another from a burning building.
We all have the capacity to put others before ourselves regardless of the consequences. That is the theme of The Butterfly Queen.
A touching ensemble piece where sacrifice is as simple as a pair of wings.
