Carole Klyce's FLIGHT RISK to be Presented at The Marsh Berkeley
Central Works founding member and associate artist Deb Fink directs.
After being orphaned at 11 years old, Carole Klyce spent her adolescence running. Now, The Marsh Berkeley will present her journey as a runaway in Klyce’s debut stage production, Flight Risk. Labeled “incorrigible,” young Carole lived life on the lam, from fleeing a group foster home to escaping from a juvenile correction facility. A child at large throughout New Jersey, Carole sports many names and takes on a male identity for safety, working restaurants, fields, and with the Italian mob to support herself.
Throughout her journey she is cared for by unlikely mentors, including a gruff Italian ex-con chef, a retired Las Vegas showgirl, and the only Black man in a rural town. Flight Risk chronicles the six years that Carole spent self-educating and surviving by the skin of her teeth. Central Works founding member and associate artist Deb Fink directs. Flight Risk plays 5:00pm Saturdays, May 30 - June 20, 2026. For tickets ($25-$35 sliding scale, $50 and $100 reserved, plus a $3 convenience fee per ticket).
Carole Klyce (playwright, performer) makes her Marsh debut with her true tale Flight Risk. Developing the show through The Marsh’s new work pipeline, Flight Risk was first performed as a Marsh Rising performance in 2025. Klyce has also been seen on the MarshStream, The Marsh’s digital streaming platform, in her solo work Solo Arts Heal. A storyteller, solo performer, activist, martial arts instructor, and mother, Klyce brings a uniquely diverse perspective to her development of new work.
