Flying Ace and the Storm of the Century, created in collaboration with scientists from Columbia University’s Earth Institute, is a one-act play for audiences of all ages inspired by Snoopy and Hurricane Sandy, exploring hope in the face of extreme climatic events.
Organizers tell Stark Insider the production is coming to the Bay Area from its home in New York.
Tour stops include San Francisco, Richmond and Oakland and runs October 16 through 29.
Created in 2013 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, Flying Ace is “a duet performance exploring how people negotiate extreme climatic events.”
The Flying Ace team will also be hosting workshops on Eco-theater and Art & Activism throughout the area, at schools, universities, and community organizations, including: Destiny Arts Center, East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, San Jose State University, Lick-Wilmerding High School, San Francisco University High School, Oakes College (UCSC), Rainbow Theater (UCSC), and California State University: Monterey Bay.
Flying Ace and the Storm of the Century is produced by Superhero Clubhouse, a collective of artists and scientists working at the intersection of environmentalism and theater.
