Aviatrix
Book and Lyrics by Angela Poe Russell

Directed by Amy Poisson
May 15 - June 7, 2026
Determined to make something of herself, a girl from rural Texas dreams of flying. But it’s 1917, and flight schools don’t accept women, much less one who is Black and Native. Refusing to take no for an answer, Bessie Coleman goes to extraordinary lengths to make her dream of flying a reality.
Runtime: 2 hours and 30 minutes with an intermission
