Northside Flight Tests

Join MoonBull Studio as we share neighborhood-based work-in-progress performances of our newest show: How to Build a Flying Machine. This original work explores the Wright Brothers' unique approach to solving an impossible problem. Be part of the inventive process as we take risks to get this show off the ground. A series of three Flight Tests around Northside will feature puppetry, gadgetry and possibly lift-off (definitely crashes). Each Flight Test will cover new terrain so come to one or all to witness the creative and engineering process unfold. 

Engage with our artists and the good folks at Happen, Inc. and Word Play to reflect on this unique style of puppetry performance and its themes of flight, ingenuity and can-do-attitude.
