Performance Network Theatre Extends SONIA FLEW thru 10/24

In response to audience popularity and rave reviews from critics, Performance Network's production of Melinda Lopez's SONIA FLEW has been extended for one weekend. Additional performances will be held on October 22, 23 and 24. "Sonia Flew" is directed by David Wolber and stars Sarab Kamoo, Mila Govich, Jon Bennett, Will David Young, Christina Flynn and Russ Schwartz.

In the turmoil of revolutionary Cuba, a young girl's parents struggle to keep their family safe. When the father is wrongly implicated as a detractor of Castro, they must make the shattering decision to send her to the US and a better future. Based on the true story of Operation Pedro Pan that transported 14,000 children out of Cuba, SONIA FLEW chronicles one girl's life from her departure in 1960, through her adulthood in America in 2001.

Artistic Director David Wolber said "We're obviously really happy with the response that the show has received from area theatre critics, but its the response that we're receiving from audiences that makes me especially proud. Everyone is walking out of the theatre extremely moved by this story that has, until now, largely gone untold. We were lucky enough to have a couple of patrons with us on opening night who actually fled Cuba as children. They're acceptance and praise of the play was like icing on the cake."

Weekly performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm, with a 3pm matinee on Saturday October 16.

Tickets can be ordered at the Performance Network Box Office at 734-663-0681, online at
www.performancenetwork.org or by coming to the Performance Network Theatre (120 East Huron St., Ann Arbor, 48104) Monday-Saturday 11-6 or one hour before a performance. Tickets are priced at $22 - $41, with discounts available for seniors, members, students and groups.

SONIA FLEW features scenic design by Monika Essen, Lights by Dan Walker, sound design by Phil Powers and costumes by Mary Copenhagen.
