In honor of Women’s History Month, Morningside Theater Co. presents a soaring theatrical portrait of aviation pioneer Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman.
UPDATE: We have closed tix online but you can come to our theater if you’re local to see if we can find you a seat!
Written and performed by April Armstrong and directed by Sara Berg, this powerful one-woman show traces Bessie’s journey from poverty to international acclaim as the first Black woman to earn a pilot’s license. Through dialogue, song, movement, and striking imagery, the production blends history, science, and civil rights into an inspiring, unforgettable performance.
This is not just a biography — it’s a celebration of courage, ambition, and breaking barriers.
