About the Show
Birds of a Feather was first produced in New york, featuring the likes of Tamu Blackwell, Nate Barnett, and Anthony Chisolm, the production was then brought to Karamu House in 1982 and was performed by the Karamu Youth Theatre, under the direction of Charlie Briggs. Now, Karamu wishes to bring back this Musical Fantasy, Based on the Events surrounding the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
 
This Colorful Stage Cartoon, Birds of a Feather is loosely based on the story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott of the 1960's, however in this version, all the characters are birds. A Lavender Sookoo Secretary bird boards a bus, and asks a  Humble Wrenkoo seamstress to relenquish her perch (seat), what ensues will turn the land of the Amakoos upside down, and lead to its first bus birdcott. It is up to Vesper Sparrow and the Court of White Owls to make civil rights out of civil wrongs, and calm the ruffled feathers to all the birds in the land of the Amakoos.
