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.

Such a relevant topic! I recently upgraded my office setup and needed to get rid of old electronics. I used a reliable IT Scrap Buyer in UAE who made everything so easy. They arrived on time, offered fair prices, and ensured everything was recycled responsibly.

Nicely done — this article was both interesting and practical, which is not easy to achieve. It made me think about how much I value fashion pieces that can work in multiple settings. That’s why I’ve been checking out Vanson Jackets, and one item I’d recommend is the Wednesday S02 Emma Myers Embroidered Cropped Hoodie. It’s versatile and looks effortlessly cool.

This production of The Flight sounds inspiring—Bessie Coleman’s story deserves to be told to new generations. That fearless energy reminds me of the vibe you get when rocking something bold like the Geedup Play for Keeps Hoodie, a statement of confidence and individuality. Can’t wait to see how audiences connect with this performance.
