We're pleased to announce that Bird is working on our fourth collaboration with
The American Conservatory Theater's Young Conservatory program.
This year's spring original musical production will be the world premiere of "Beautiful Child: The Music of Rufus Wainwright."
The "disarmingly beautiful" (The New York Times) music of Rufus Wainwright takes center stage as
A.C.T.'s Young Conservatory continues its exploration of modern composers in this theatrical tribute
to the acclaimed singer-songwriter. Shamed by his father's arrest during the Panic of 1893, young
New York socialite Josiah Matliff flees to Chicago. As he traverses the American railways, he meets
other teenage runaways from the fringes of society who are escaping their own pasts. Wainwright's haunting
melodies and emotionally charged lyrics shape Beautiful Child into an original and unforgettable
story of independence and awakening.
