The World Premiere of Jonathan Livingston Seagull: A Solo Flight at Atwater Village Theatre

Dreamer. Rebel. Outcast.Jonathan Livingston Seagull is no ordinary bird.Banished to the Far Cliffs by his flock for daring to break with tradition, Jonathan spends his life in pursuit of his unbound passion for flight, not to scrape and scrabble for foodbut for the joy of flight itself. Richard Bachs bestselling 1970 novella Jonathan Livingston Seagull is brought vividly to life inJonathan Livingston Seagull:A Solo Flightby Adapter and PerformerAndrew Thacherwho invites us to join Jonathan on his journey through the here and now, and all of eternity, as he soars to the heights of perfection, freedom, and Love. Jonathans path from awkward beginner to passionate student and eventually to patient master is both wonderfully familiar and extraordinarily unique. Thacher began tinkering with Richard Bachs acclaimed novella, performing Part One as a staged reading for the first time in 2009. A full production eluded him however, but after more than a decade of false starts, and with the blessing of author Richard Bach, he is thrilled to bring Jonathan Livingston Seagull:A Solo Flightto life at last.
