Bird + Crab

Writing Residency supported by a Frank Young Fund for New Musicals Writers Residency Grant from the National Alliance for Musical Theatre

A love story between horseshoe crab fisher Manny and bird watcher Alma, two humans who become as interconnected as the precious animals they catch and witness. Blending folk and pop musical styles from the U.S. and Latin America, Bird + Crab is a story about crossing borders, discovering connection, and living between hope and dread in the face of climate catastrophe.
