Free Reading for New Wright Brothers Musical February 26

The CORE Theatre Company and Vince Corozine presents a reading session of a new musical A DREAM OF WINGS (the story of the Wright Brothers; Wilbur and Orville's triumph over adversity is a personification of the American Dream) by Vince Corozine.

Date Sat. Feb 26, 2005 6 pm
Shietler Sutdios, room 204, 2nd floor 939 8th av. between 55th and 56th st.

Discussion: Talk back with Vince Corozine immediately following reading.

The reading will feature 12 singer/actors plus pianist. Vince began writing the show five years ago in North Carolina where he was teaching music at Elizabeth City State University. He became fascinated with the Wright Brothers dedication and perseverence after visiting their memorial in Kitty Hawk.

"A Dream of Wings is the story of the Wright Brothers' battle in their quest to do what no one had ever done before; build and fly a heavier-than-air machine. It reflects the spirit of the turn of the century and spans the period from 1881 to 1903. The Wright Brothers exhibit physical and emotional courage and a moral purpose against all doubt, ridicule and superstition. They are often in conflict with their father, society and with each other. If man can fly, he can do anything. It is about man's aspirations and dreams.

Wilbur, the dreamer, and Orville, the more practical brother clash throughout. Conflicts arise and tensions mount as Orville must choose between his love for Elizabeth and his love of flying. Their father, Bishop Milton Wright, believes that flying is against God's will.
