Returning to the stage after its original performance in 2023, Flight follows the true stories of 4 individuals effected by domestic violence. Interwoven with their words are songs and movement that more fully express the depth of despair and courageous hope that accompanied them along the way. ​These performances will feature an optional post-show discussion with staff from The Dwelling Place, a Christ-centered ministry providing healing and hope to victims of domestic abuse through supportive services and a safe, transitional place to call home. This production is for mature audiences only as it contains descriptions and physical depictions of domestic violence. We realize this can be triggering for people of any age, but we believe it is important to tell these stories.

As a young girl, medieval saint, healer, visionary, exorcist, and composer Hildegard von Bingen was locked in a cloister’s cell after demonstrating a preternatural sensitivity to the world around her. Sequestered with Hildegard is Jutta, a woman who has spent her life secluded in an effort to recover a whole self after the deepest of trauma. Under Jutta’s guidance, Hildegard attempts to reassemble her own fragmented self while her mentor proselytizes a rejection of brokenness. In the Green is a musical unlike any you’ve seen, an astonishingly, sonically sophisticated saga of two exceptional women broken by the world and their journey of healing that changed history.
