Join us at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) for a night of theatre! “Take Flight” tells the story of the visionary outsiders who eschewed conventional boundaries and fearlessly and literally pushed mankind to new heights. Armed with an audacious mindset and commitment to innovation, the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart unlock doors to unprecedented opportunities.

Written by musical theatre luminaries David Shire, Richard Maltby, Jr., and John Wiedman, directed by N. David Williams, and performed by students from the University of Miami Department of Theatre Arts, “Take Flight” proves that greatness lies in the courage to challenge the status quo.
