Red Mountain Theatre Company Closes BARNSTORMER 1/31

Before Amelia Earhart, there was Bessie Coleman. Celebrate the remarkable life of this pioneering pilot as Red Mountain Theatre Company presents BARNSTORMER January 28-31, 2010, at the RMTC Cabaret Theatre (301 19th Street North).

Based on the true story of the first African-American aviatrix, Barnstormer recounts Bessie Coleman's amazing journey from the cotton fields, to aviation school, and finally into the sky, as she fought against all odds to make her dreams take flight. Featuring Birmingham favorites recently seen in RMTC's production of Dreamgirls and RENT, Barnstormer is a powerful new musical about believing in yourself, even when the world fights to keep you down.
