NEW YORK—The realization that sometimes you must think of yourself first, no matter how hard that might be, is at the heart of Martha Pichey’s drama “Ashes & Ink,” presented by Paper Birch Productions at the AMT Theater.

Molly (Kathryn Erbe) is in a period of transition. She’s preparing to sell her audio recording business that specializes in bird calls, which she runs with her sister Bree (Tamara Flannagan). She’s in a budding relationship with Leo (Javier Molina), a widower with an 8-year-old son, Felix (Rhylee Watson).
