Taking Care of Animals
by Jerrod Jordahl
November 16 - December 10 2023
On a farm in Iowa, a winter storm rages with no end in sight. Trapped indoors, the landowner and his two employees engage in a power struggle while the landowner’s daughter navigates the chaos and vies for agency. 21ten Theatre is proud to present the world premiere of Taking Care of Animals, a darkly comic, riveting new work by New York playwright Jerrod Jordahl.
Directed by Alex Hurt
With Illya deTorres, Annie Trevisan, Michael Heidingsfelder, and Ted Rooney
