Flying the coop: Alumnus to perform in Boston play

Dan Liston (S.B. 2004) is in the company of Hijinx Unlimited's world premiere production of "Spring Chicken or When I Flew the Coop," playing Oct. 13-23 at the Devanaughn Theatre at the Piano Factory (791 Tremont St., Boston).

Written by Pennsylvanian playwright Chris Davis, "Spring Chicken or When I Flew the Coop" is a celebration of the language, survival and friendship of five men "on an epic allegorical journey to reach the KFC" and is loosely based on Davis' experiences in South Africa.
