Up (The Man in the Flying Lawn Chair) by Bridget Carpenter
Yukon Arts Centre > March 11–13, 2004
Juneau’s Perseverance Theatre in Whitehorse!
15 years ago, Walter achieved 15 minutes of fame by flying up 16,000 feet
in a lawn chair strapped to 50 helium balloons. Today, his search for a
new high
collides with the dreams of his wife and son. One of American theatre’s
hottest new talents spins a true event into this bittersweet story of a
family on a tightrope between desire and desperation.
Directed by Peter
Dubois.
