    Deep beneath the icy swells, a nuclear powered submarine carries three imbeciles in charge of a highly classified mission. A buzz-cut she-beast, a Casper Milquetoast somnambulist cross-dresser, and a passive-aggressive Elvis devotee share bunk beds, safety goggles, and poopie suits. Chicken is an expressionistic clown play that magnifies viewers' most intimate fears into coliseum-sized spectacles: molehills become mountains, kitchen sink drama becomes gladiatorial bloodbath. With Charlotte Ford, Mikaal Sulaiman, and Jay Dunn. Previous Live Arts Festival shows: Flesh and Blood and Fish and Fowl (2008) and as a creator/performer in Welcome to Yuba City (2009). Chicken was funded by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative, an Independence Foundation fellowship, and with support from the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival as part of the Live Arts Brewery Fellowship Program.
