Aviatrix

Book and Lyrics by Angela Poe Russell

Music and Lyrics by Dionne McClain-Freeney

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
