Paradise Park Zoo
by Savannah Reich
directed by Alex Barreto Hathaway
The animals at the zoo are very busy—experimenting with meditation, processing their relationships, honing their wilderness survival skills, hosting community meetings, arguing about doors. No one is talking about the cages. The cages are not important…or are they?
Paradise Park Zoo is a dark-comedy that follows a group of zoo animals as they struggle to free themselves from their own cages. This fantastical dark-comedy critiques our lack-luster dating pool, our ineffective work meetings, and how our people-pleasing tendencies are caging the true and wild animal within.
Complete with a live band, group dance numbers, and several public break-ups, Paradise Park Zoo is a theatrical event not to be missed.
Written by 2020–2021 McKnight Fellow in Playwriting, Savannah Reich, and directed by Minneapolis-based director and theater-maker, Alex Barreto Hathaway.
