Photo Flash: First Look At Flint Youth Theatre's BALLOONACY

Flint Youth Theatre, Michigan's Professional Theatre for Young Audiences, presents "Balloonacy" by Barry Kornhauser. Performances begin Friday January 26 and runs through Sunday January 28. Tickets are now on sale.

"Balloonacy" is a wordless play starring one actor and a balloon. A tender, uplifting show for the little ones (and the big ones too). Sweet, inventive and packed with physical comedy, this play explores the power of friendship and shows how, with a little imagination and acceptance, companionship is everywhere.
