Description:
Ten years ago Emily Book, the lone survivor of a horrible school bus accident, was
sent away from the tiny town of Spring Farm. Now, in her senior year, Emily must
return in order to graduate from high school. When she arrives, shy and guarded,
Emily is unwillingly thrust into the whirlwind of Spring Farm High. Guided by her
biology teacher, Mr. Christopher, and befriended by head cheerleader, Jenny
McGrath, Emily must learn to fit in with her classmates while yearning to stay out
of the spotlight. But when Jenny’s life is threatened in a dangerous stunt at the
homecoming basketball game, Emily reveals her true powers as she saves Jenny’s
life in a stunning display of telekinetic heroism. Thus, Spring Farm’s own darling
superhero, “The Sparrow,” is born. Can this strange girl with even stranger powers
be the hero that her town is longing for, or will her dark secret destroy them
all? The Sparrow taps into the fundamental aching of adolescence fearing that
we’re somehow different while hoping that we’re somehow special.
First Performed by The House Theatre of Chicago. Produced by special arrangement
with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
