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.

Appreciating this wonderful event announcement it sounds like a truly inspiring experience for the community! As someone exploring ways to share creative projects more widely, I’ve been thinking about working with a social media marketing consultant to help spread the word about events like this. Does anyone have tips or experiences on how a consultant helped boost engagement or reach?

Appreciating this wonderful announcement what an exciting opportunity to explore creativity and performance with Theatre Gargantua! Events like this can really spark imagination and community connection. It’s inspiring to see arts programming offered so accessibly. Reading about this also got me thinking about how much thought goes into projects like design a book cover, where creativity and audience engagement truly matter.

Booking a class to see “The Flight” with Theatre Gargantua sounds like a wonderful opportunity for students to experience powerful storytelling and live performance. Theatre programs like this can inspire creativity and help audiences connect with meaningful themes. It’s always great to see educational experiences that combine art and learning. After a day full of activities, relaxing in a comfortable boston red sox hoodie can be the perfect way to unwind. 🎭

I read the post about booking a class to see the flight with Theatre Gargantua and how watching live acrobatic sky dancers made everyone feel excited and close to the art. When I was stuck with a long school paper I once used cheap assignment editing service to fix my work and it helped me finish calm. It made me think new events and help can brighten learning.

Booking a class to see The Flight with Theatre Gargantua sounds like a unique and immersive theatrical experience. The performance seems engaging and thought-provoking, perfect for theater enthusiasts. While reading, I also noticed the cyberpunk 2077 panam jacket, which caught my eye during browsing. Informative and exciting content!
