Welcome!
Join us for a special night at the opera in support of our star, Cortez Mitchell!
Remember, don’t tell Cortez. We want him to be as surprised staring at our faces in the audience as he was staring into the face of his dinner in Shanghai.

FLIGHT
MUSIC BY JONATHAN DOVE
LIBRETTO BY APRIL DE ANGELIS
MAKE YOUR CONNECTION
Eight complete strangers find they have more in common than they think. Stranded overnight at an airport, they meet a refugee forced to call the terminal his home and soon realize they need each other to get to their destinations. Inspired by a true story, Jonathan Dove’s Flight is a touching, charming, and deeply human dramedy all about what it means to make a real connection.
LANGUAGE
Performed in English with English captions projected above the stage.
RUNTIME
Approximately two hours and 20 minutes with one intermission.
