Powder Puff Pilots: A New Musical

With a mixture of drama, suspense and humor, Powder Puff Pilots explores the first Women’s National Air Derby in 1929, where Amelia Earhart and thirteen other courageous pilots face threats of sabotage, fierce rivalry, daunting weather, chauvinistic detractors, and mechanical failures as each strives to be the fastest aviatrix in the country.

 

AWESTRUCK,
I’M AT ONE WITH THE SKY
AS THE ENGINES CROON THEIR STRANGE LULLABY
AND I CAN I ALMOST
TOUCH HEAVEN.
