There is still time to book tickets for this world premiere presentation of The Flight! This exciting new SideStream production, co-produced by Theatre Gargantua, brings to life one of the earliest pioneers of civil aviation in a presentation to enhance your African Heritage Month curriculum for high school audiences.


Written and Performed by Beryl Bain The Flight, a new work by acclaimed theatre artist Beryl Bain, explores the ground-breaking life of aviation pioneer Bessie Colman – the first African-American woman and the first Native-American to hold an international pilot’s license. Rising above economic obstacles and social barriers in the Roaring ’20s, she earned the nickname “Brave Bessie” and even her dreams were quite literally sky high. From flight school in Paris to spectacular barnstorming shows, Bessie dazzled audiences with her bravery, beauty, and technological mastery. The Flight evokes Bessie’s unshakable optimism, her determination, her vision, and the indomitable self confidence that led her to soar above the clouds, reaching ever closer to the sun. Queen Bess Productions and Theatre Gargantua, in association with b current Performing Arts and Roseneath Theatre, are pleased to offer student matinee performances for just $17/student with a free staff ticket available for each 15 students booked.

I tried marble sort to avoid doing my actual sorting, and now I'm sorting virtual marbles instead. It's basically a memory and timing test with a moving belt. The boxes only clear with three of a color, and my brain claps every time.

Still time to catch this world premiere — love that Theatre Gargantua is pushing the boundaries of digital dialogue on stage. I've been meaning to book my seat, and this just reminded me to check the schedule. https://hunyuan3d.dev
