The Lorikeet
Book and Lyrics by EllaRose Chary
Music by Sooyeon Lee
Directed by Eugene Ma

In faraway Hong Kong a lovely little lorikeet named Penelope lives in a cage by the window.  She longs to be free and to fly in the sky but her farmer insists that she is safer in her cage just admiring the sky.  Her only true friend is the water buffalo next door, but he is tethered to a plow and also not free.  And neither is the farmer who is tethered to the owner of the land.  This charming musical tale explores the price of freedom in a land where no one is free.
