One of my favorite plays to exist. A beautiful and haunting story, I was lucky enough to be able to be Alice Hawkins in a performance of this play, it altered the way I viewed history and hasn't left me since I read the script for the first time.
It's a touching tale of the bonds of sisterhood and just what women can be capable of.

It's what would happen if the book Flygirl and the movie "A League of Their Own" got together to make a play.

2.5 stars. I have had the pleasure of diving deep into this play through being in it. However the writing here is questionable. I find many character arcs lacking and there really is no true conflict or climax in the story. I think there is definitely some good character development for some of the main women. As well as sweet moments through the entire show. Not anything to exciting but definitely a sweet play nonetheless!

A beautiful story of sisterhood, passion, and creating your own path, that reveals the the significant (and under-recognized) contributions of the Women Air Force Service pilots to the U.S. army war effort during WWII, and that I was incredibly lucky to get to act in!!

Such a wonderful, heartfelt tribute to the powerful women that history has forgotten, and to the strength of women in general. I’m so excited to perform in this piece!!
