Join us for the first developmental reading of Working Theater's 25th Anniversary Season: PROGRESS IN FLYING a staged reading with music by LYNN ROSEN, directed by Daniella Topol, music by MARY KELLY, with Heidi Schreck (Circle Mirror Transformation), KEIRA KEELEY (Roundabout's upcoming The Glass Menagerie opposite Judith Ivey) and Joel de la FUENTE (Law & Order: SVU)

In a defunct steel town on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, Lois and her mother grapple with a father gone AWOL, the legacy of an aviator who flew in their backyard a hundred years before, and a talent contest that must be won. A play about losers, winners, and those in between.

The reading takes place on Monday, January 25. Tickets $10 or purchase a Readings Pass- Any 3 Readings for only $20!

If you can't make it please consider a gift of $25 (or more!) in honor of 25 years of theater for and about working people.

Thanks for your support!
We look forward to seeing you at Progress in Flying and our other 25th Anniversary Season events!
