- The Flight of the Lawnchair Man
Musical Comedy!
Book by Peter Ullian
Music and Lyrics by Robert Lindsey-Nassif
Director: Randi Collins Hard
Musical Director: Tim Schirmer
Meet Jerry Gorman. He's a thirty-four-year-old guy from Passaic, New Jersey, who just got promoted to Snack Bar Manager at Wal-Mart. But Jerry is depressed. Deep inside, he knows he was born to achieve something extraordinary. He wants to fly! Jerry hits on a highly unorthodox method of getting airborne. With a little help from a lawnchair and 400 helium-filled toy balloons, he defies the odds and takes to the friendly skies! Rising higher into the glorious atmosphere, he encounters Leonardo Da Vinci, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart, who urge him to join the greats of aviation in the sky! Most appropriate for ages 12 and up.
