Photo Flash: WINGS Opens at Studio Theatre

Beck Center for the Arts presents Arthur Kopit's inspiring drama, Wings in the Studio Theater, October 8 through November 7, 2010. Show times are 8:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 p.m. Sundays.
 
Step inside the brain of Emily Stilson as she experiences a potentially life-shattering stroke. Experience her journey as she draws on the strength and courage of her early years as an aviatrix and wingwalker to soar to a triumphant recovery. Wings is thrilling, funny, and imaginative, everything that audiences can expect from a Kopit play.
 
Three talk-back sessions with stroke experts from the Cleveland area's top medical institutions will take place after the following performances: October 17, October 23, and November 5. Patrons can also view a special exhibition in Beck's lobby on women in aviation, organized by the International Women's Air & Space Museum.
