FLY Will Make Its Off-Broadway Premiere This Month

The Pasadena Playhouse/Crossroads Theatre Company production of FLY will make its Off-Broadway debut from March 11, 2016 until March 24, 2016 at The New Victory Theater in New York City.

Written by Trey Ellis and Ricardo Khan with additional consultation by Dr. Roscoe Brown, an original Tuskegee Airman, FLY tells the story of the first African-American Army Air Corp fighters, known as the Tuskegee Airmen, who flew over the skies of Europe and North Africa during World War II.

The year is 1944: Allied forces liberate Rome; British and US troops storm the beaches of Normandy; and, on an airfield in Alabama, four brave young men join the first black military aviators in United States history. FLY, a theatrical action-adventure, beautifully employs dance and video projection to illuminate the tremendous courage and resilience of the Tuskegee Airmen. From training to combat, experience the anguish, fears and triumphs of a brotherhood who fought for freedom abroad—and at home. Thrilling, inspired and uplifting, FLY soars.

The cast includes Brooks Brantly, Ross Cowan, Omar Edwards, Anthony J. Goes, Brandon Nagle, Desmond Newson, Damian Thompson, and Terrell Wheeler. FLY is approximately an hour and 45 minutes with no intermission, with talk-backs offered on March 13 and 20 after the matinee.

Tickets start at $15 and can be purchased here, by calling 646.223.3010, or in person at the box office (209 West 42nd Street New York, NY, 10036)
