The Butterfly Queen
by Christian Kiley
One teacher protects her class from danger. One bystander helps someone timid overcome a fear. One stranger saves another from a burning building.
We all have the capacity to put others before ourselves regardless of the consequences. That is the theme of The Butterfly Queen.
A touching ensemble piece where sacrifice is as simple as a pair of wings.
