When a forgotten scream queen is roped into her old co-star’s desperate comeback attempt, she must choose between exposing a painful truth or preserving the fragile life she’s built on its ruins. Featuring Becca Blackwell (Is This a Room, Sort Of, Bros), Heather Litteer (La MaMa, Big Art Group, Requiem for a Dream), Anni Rossi (Live at St. Vitus, 4AD, Whitney Museum) and Jill Pangallo (Joe’s Pub, JWAnderson, Pioneer Works), Swallows blends powerful narrative, comedy and an original song by Rossi to deliver an unforgettable deep dive into Hollywood’s casualties, faded glory and the desperate search for relevance in an industry that devours its young.

Aging ‘90s heartthrob Brodie and his middle-aged girl band, The Swallows, are preparing to film a music video in their crumbling Valley McMansion when a buried secret threatens their fragile existence. Celebrated for her NYC alt-scene solo performance, multidisciplinary artist Jill Pangallo takes an exciting leap with her debut play, fusing comedic storytelling and provocative themes.
