Fathers.
Daughters.
Signals are everything.
John and his daughter Caitlyn are birders. As they scan the skies over their backyard in suburban Maryland looking for elusive birds, years go by. Relationships begin and end. Children grow up and parents age. The climate and the world change in small and vast ways. Birds of North America takes a close look at the relationship of a father and daughter over the course of a decade as they struggle to understand the parts of one another that defy understanding.

“…it’s impossible to look away for a single second. You’re hooked. You’re gobsmacked. You’re on the edge of your seat. And rightly so, because you’re never quite sure what’s going to happen next.”
“Breiner-Sanders doing exemplary work… Sullivan demonstrates an actor’s masterclass”
“a play for all generations”
“…yet another brilliant selection by Thrown Stone…”
