Abstract
Birdcage is a play that dives into how every member of the Guerrero Family deals with generational trauma and the pressures that come from it. The play takes place over several years and shows a spectrum of responses from those unwilling to change their perspective to those who are very open to change. The thesis paper goes into detail about the writing process as well as the set design if a formal production of this piece were ever done.
