The Birds
February 2026
The Guild Hall was thrilled to partner with Gwaandak Theatre to present Yvette Nolan's modern re-telling of Aristophanes’ classic comic fantasy The Birds.
Two men, frustrated by the modern world, arrive in the fabled land of the birds seeking freedom and a better way of life. Despite their best intentions the men are unable to resist remaking this utopian paradise in their own image, without regard for the inhabitants who already occupy the land. Set in a richly imagined, song and dance filled land of the birds.
Performances took place February 11th-28th, 2026 on Wednesdays-Saturdays at The Guild Hall Main Stage in Whitehorse YT.
