A Truck Full of Chickens: Don’t count your chickens until they’ve hatched their plan

Created by Writer/Director Susanna Uchatius and the Theatre Terrific players, this Fringe BYOV show is happening at the Japanese United Church. Opening with the crooning of suspicious-looking chickens playing a ukelele and a banjo, we are gradually introduced to a truck full of chickens bound for the diner.  What will they do?  These are no ordinary chickens!  These are chickens with dreams and, once they discover that they aren’t on a tour, they organize to contrive their daring escape.

As with much of life, the chickens go along with the program, jump aboard the truck and only after the doors are closed does someone ask if anyone knows where they’re going.  “I think we should have asked”, observes one astute chicken.  Indeed.  So should we all...

This is a tale of hope, friendship and sacrifice in the middle of a terrible situation.  Mixing the funny with the heartfelt, these chickens will win your heart with their clucking and banter and charming dreams. The solo song at the end really softened up this tough old bird.  Comes with a truly delicious ending.
