World Premiere Of WINGS Runs September 2-4 At Coralville Center for the Performing Arts
The play, WINGS, envisions a world where when teenagers come of age, they receive beautiful wings with which they can fly high; but there are also dangers.
Young Footliters Youth Theatre will present the world premiere of a new play by local playwright Matt Falduto September 2, 3, & 4 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts. The play, WINGS, envisions a world where when teenagers come of age, they receive beautiful wings with which they can fly high; but there are also dangers.
Tickets are available through the CCPA Box Office: 319-248-9370, www.CoralvilleArts.org.
According to playwright Matt Falduto, "I've been working on this play since December 14, 2012. It took a long time to find a way into the subject of violence that would be accessible and appropriate for younger actors. This is written for the lockdown generation - that group of kids who are growing up with the specter of violence hanging over every day. I am hopeful that this story will give them a safe place to experience the emotions they're dealing with and maybe inspire them to push back. In the end, it's a story of love triumphing over violence."
