Running time: 40 minutes. $15. (world premieres of both plays) http://www.theaterforthenewcity.net or http://www.dreamupfestival.org 212-254-1109"What The Sparrow Said," a rollercoaster 25-minute play by Danny Mitarotondo and directed by Shannon Fillion, catapults us into an unforgettable conversation between brothers Blaze (Matt Hurley) and Dan (Blaze Mancillas) at an LA outdoor café the afternoon of their mother's funeral. Toeing the line between high farce and tragedy while pushing the boundaries of dramatic language, Sparrow asks us how far we are willing to go to feel and the prices we pay to connect to one another in our modern, ever more isolating, society. This play is part of the "Dream Up Festival"; a theater festival that takes place at the Theater for the New City (TNC) from August 8 to September 5, 2010.
