THE SWALLOW

Show Information

Open Space Arts presents THE SWALLOW, an intimate and deeply moving two-character drama by internationally produced Catalan playwright Guillem Clua, author of SMILEY, which Open Space Arts presented in a successful extended run in June and July 2026. Featuring Michelle McKenzie-Voigt and Jim Nally, THE SWALLOW is set during a private singing lesson between a choral director and a new student. As they work together on a song, what initially seems like a simple musical exchange becomes something more personal, more complicated, and more revealing. With humor, tension, and emotional precision, the play explores grief, memory, family, faith, identity, and the stories people tell in order to survive. Music becomes both a refuge and a doorway, allowing two strangers to move toward truths that have been difficult to face. THE SWALLOW is a powerful theatrical encounter about loss, compassion, and the possibility of connection when people are willing to listen.
