It's the first day of flight school, where they teach birds to fly. Penguin has the soul of an eagle and is ready to live on the wind. But he wasn't built to soar, as the other birds constantly remind him. Penguin's spirit won't be gounded. With some friends of a feather and a little help with the technical skills, Penguin follows his dreams to flip, flap and fly! Prersented by the Vital Theatre Company.
Public performances are on Feb. 3 and Feb. 9 at 2 p.m. at the Florissant Civic Center Theater.
Tickets are $8 per person for all performances. For tickets, call 314-921-5678.
