Pecking Order
By Robin Rice
Directed by Basil Rodericks
With Heather Abrado, Laura Lee Botsacos, Steven Peacock Jacoby, Rohana Kenin, Joy Marr, Caroline Portante, and Nicholas James Reilly
Two red-tailed hawks have the nerve to build a nest on a ritzy apartment building on the Upper East Side. Doorman Albert is determined to protect them, but many of the building’s residents aren’t happy about it. Torn between his own dreams and responsibilities, Albert’s love of birds and longing for romance are thwarted by the need to financially support his ailing sister.
With elements of magical realism, this quirky, heartfelt drama explores the inequalities and conflicts of those who work to serve the wealthy, who work to protect the things they love, and who work to control the pecking order.

Called home for a family portrait, a mother and her daughters reunite after years of estrangement, stepping into a fragile moment thick with old wounds and unspoken truths. What begins as an uneasy gathering becomes an unflinching confrontation with the past. The weight of their shared history, especially the memory of the last portrait, turns a journey of reconciliation to gradually become a reckoning. Broken Thread weaves a story of fractured bonds, difficult choices, and the haunting realization that home is as fragile as the ties that bind it. At its heart, this is a poignant tale of resilience, asking: when the threads of family unravel, can they ever be mended? And if so, at what cost?
