La MaMa presents the SWALLOWS from March 28-April 6, 2025 at The Downstairs Theatre at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, 66 E. 4th Street, NYC.

Performances: Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 4pm.

Aging ‘90s heartthrob Brodie and his middle-aged girl band, The Swallows, are preparing to film a music video in their crumbling Valley McMansion when a buried secret threatens their fragile existence. Celebrated for her NYC alt-scene solo performance, multidisciplinary artist Jill Pangallo takes an exciting leap with her debut play, fusing comedic storytelling and provocative themes.

Featuring Becca Blackwell (Is This a Room, Sort Of, Bros), Heather Litteer (La MaMa, Big Art
Group, Requiem for a Dream), Anni Rossi (Live at St. Vitus, 4AD, Whitney Museum) and Jill Pangallo (Joe’s Pub, Pioneer Works, JWAnderson,), Swallows blends powerful narrative, comedy, and an original song by Rossi to deliver an unforgettable deep dive into Hollywood’s casualties, faded glory, and the desperate search for relevance in an industry that devours its young.

Save the date for a post-performance talkback after the show on Thursday, April 3rd, with Leah & Macauley DeVun.
