WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Flights of Angels is a gripping new play that tells the story of a young American Corporal who struggles against all odds to marry the woman he loves before his 54th Airborne division leaves France for a final jump into Germany. It also recounts the adventures of four young American paratroopers after their drop into Normandy on D-day. Playwright John Kallas was one of those paratroopers.
There is an additional performance on Wednesday, June 12 at 2:30pm.
