The Curious Cardinal (Stream)

Watch a recorded performance of Alliance Theatre's production of The Curious Cardinal.

Created by Olivia Aston Bosworth in partnership with Fly on a Wall  
Based on the animated short and book The Curious Cardinal by Mark Valdez and illustrated by Nicole Kang Ahn, with music composed by Eugene H. Russell, IV
 

As the seasons come and go in this Georgia forest, so too do all the varied wildlife. Except, of course, for the curious cardinal, “CC”, who stays put the entire year, curiously exploring all the changes that the seasons bring. Join CC on their adventure beyond the city and soar to new heights in the spring, bid a fond farewell to the friendly otters in the summer, bicker and befriend squirrels in the fall, and explore the crisp, cool air in the winter. This show celebrates the majesty of the natural habitats of Georgia and the daily adventures of an ever-changing world. 


The Curious Cardinal ran on The Sifly Piazza at Alliance Theatre, September 21 – October 27, 2024.
