“My 12 year old daughter and her friends enjoyed Wringer so much! We are fans of Jerry Spinelli and felt the production captured the power of his ideas. Thank you for putting on this play that talks to tweens, an often neglected group audience-wise.”

Based on the Newbery Honor-winning book by Jerry Spinelli, Wringer tells the story of Palmer, a 10-year-old boy who’s about to take part in his town’s annual pigeon shoot. When he secretly befriends a pigeon, taking him in as a pet, Palmer finally finds the strength to stand up to peer pressure and speak out against the town’s violent tradition.
