In this fast-paced piece of action theatre, we follow the Tuskegee Airmen from their base in Alabama to their soaring feats of courage and bravery in World War II. All along the way, a tap dancing “griot” (or story-teller) says through emotional tap improvisation what the airmen cannot vocalize. The show is a multimedia experience chock-full of perfectly synchronized lighting, video, and sound sequences that put the audience in the cockpit with the pilots.

2016 LADCC Award Winner for Best Lighting Design!
