<b>Synopsis:</b><span> </span>Based on the experiences of the Tuskegee Airmen, FLY follows follows four courageous Black pilots as they train to fly combat aircraft during WWII. Facing powerful conflict both on and off the battlefield, the men form a lasting
brotherhood, paving the way for the desegregation of the military and providing hope for a changing America on the horizon.</p>

<b>Note:</b><span> </span>Although the Airmen don’t dance per se, all need to be fit and move well. Experience with stage combat very helpful. This is a play about a reluctant military forced to deal with desegregation of the Army Air Corps in the 1940s. The
characters embody some of the prejudice that was present and use racist language at times.</p>
