Inspirational & Empowering: "Flight"

In 1858, on a plantation in Georgia, a young mother is suddenly sold, leaving behind her husband and their five-year-old son. Through a magical evening of storytelling, music and dance, their community shares the rich history that makes them so much more than slaves. The sharing of this rich oral tradition not only comforts the father and son, but heals and strengthens the entire community as the audience has the privilege of going along for the ride. "Flight" is an inspirational theatrical experience for the whole family, as the characters share their empowering stories -- based on actual slave narratives -- as well as African and African-American folktales. Watch it all unfold on the MainStage of the Long Beach Playhouse.
