For one weekend only! The inspiring story of the aviation pioneer in her formative years. See Bessie Coleman soar in the sky and into your hearts.
Born into a family of sharecroppers, Elizabeth Coleman’s life took root in the field but ascended to unbelievable heights in the sky. One of 13 siblings, Bessie weathered segregation, racism, and financial barriers before cementing her place as a pioneer in the field of aviation. Far above the clouds, where “the air is the only place free from prejudice,” she blazed a path as Queen Bess, the first African-American woman and first woman of Native-American descent to hold a pilot’s license.
One-Act, approx. 60 min. | For ages 9+

BESSIE COLEMAN, FEARLESS AND FREE was educational, inspiring, and uplifting. The storyline was impeccable, the cast was superb, and the use of technology enhanced the overall production. A great production for all ages.
Children's Theatre of Charlotte will present the world premiere of “Bessie Coleman: Fearless & Free,” an inspiring new play written by Charlotte-based artist Keetha B.
