MISHAWAKA — “The Bird Boy” opens Dec. 9 and continues through Dec. 18 at The Acting Ensemble, 602 E. Mishawaka Ave.

Written by Andrew Blake Stamm and workshopped at Iowa University, the unpublished play explores identity, loss, family and coming together.

In the closing week of summer, a family must come together after losing their father to a heart attack. The story is told through Jeremiah’s memories of that week.

Directed by Tiemen Godwaldt.
