A daughter visits her father every fall. Together, they bird watch from the deck and talk about life. They discuss careers, family, birds, and climate change. As the years pass, it gets warmer and warmer and the topics of conversation evolve. 

Anna Ouyang Moench (In Quietness, Severance) has written a very funny and touching play that will have you calling your father afterwards. The characters are very well developed. 

The sound design by Ethan Korvne is very impressive. It feels like birds are flying right by you!

At 90 minutes, it would be nice to have an intermission. There are plenty of scene changes where it can be easily added.  Join the Pro-Intermission movement here. 

Cassidy Slaughter-Mason (KISS) is superb as the daughter, who is doing her best to make a living and start a family. John Judd (The Cave, A View From the Bridge) is excellent as the father, who is better with facts than emotions. He always wants the best for his daughter.
