See it if You enjoy a well developed play and complicated family dynamics. This is sensitive, intelligent, complex and moving and captured my heart.
Don't see it if You are not into the nitty gritty of family members in a complex and powerfully dynamic moment in their lives it asks us to listen.
See it if A evening of drama which was emotionally wrapped in sadness & denial produced a true winning formula. Kudos to the entire cast. Thumbs up!
Don't see it if You are allergic to tobacco smoke. It is a key component to the emotional release of pinned up feelings. Read more
See it if You appreciate the complexities of family relationships , smart writing and well developed characters
Don't see it if You want a snappy story with a happy ending, or a big production. This is an intimate theater in the round. 2+hrs
See it if you like character-driven stories about relationships, baggage, trauma, etc. that are wonderfully acted and written. Lots of humor, too.
Don't see it if you lack empathy, you don't like flawed characters, you don't like to think/witness authentic dialogue and only want lots of action
See it if You enjoy story telling at its finest. The relationships between the characters was funny, poignant and very intense.
Don't see it if Your looking for an evening of nothing but light hearted fluff
See it if You like a well written family story performed by very good actors
Don't see it if You like musicals or comedies.
See it if Emotionally damaged young people seek refuge in a house that is haunted by past trauma. Relationship fireworks lead to self searching.
Don't see it if You are uninterested in flailing 20-somethings. One character was stereotypical comic relief. Read more
See it if u want to observe a group of Gen Z slackers as they navigate young adulthood (& self-destruction) in a perceptive, fresh backyard drama.
Don't see it if ur looking for explosive drama, fast-paced storytelling & tidy endings; u simply can't relate to the young-life crises of Gen Z/Millennials. Read more

"Squawking slackers in the compelling world premiere 'THE WILD PARROTS OF CAMPBELL' from NOW Collective at Cherry Lane Studio Theatre"

"There is a hint of Sam Shepard in Alex Riad's well-acted play, which focuses on the troublesome post-teen, pre-adult years for a group of slackers and lost souls."

"Hall gives a detailed rendering of Jack. Watch as he approaches Amanda from behind, unwilling to startle her, so he slightly dips his body to come into her field of vision. And he excels in that hoary standby, the drunken monologue."
