Director Statement

'The Chicken Man' is a fairytale; dark, surreal and fantastic. The set was built in a dirt-floor garage in scrubby downtown Toronto, using local artists to help execute the enchanted design and while exercising the stage expression "beg, borrow and steal" throughout its creation. Writer/Director, Joslyn Rogers wrote the role of 'Lenny' for Leonard Ziolkowski after meeting at a Clown workshop on Manitoulin Island, Canada.
