Event Details
Following a successful performance of 'The Telegraph Hill Slasher' last year, Branching Out Acting Class will be staging their performance of 'Cabin Pressure'. 'Cabin Pressure' is set in the wing and a prayer world of a tiny, one-plane charter airline; staffed by two pilots, one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. Whether flying Kings from Vaduz, cricketers to the Sahara, or a cat to Abu Dhabi, no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult.
The story takes place at "MJN Air", the world's smallest airline, consisting of just one 16-seater airplane. "MJN AIR" is not so much an airline, as an "airdot" (for you cannot put one plane in a line!) — everything is run on a tight budget and they are willing to take on any job to keep the business going.
Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has employed two of the very cheapest pilots money can buy: Captain Martin Crieff, who's always wanted to fly and won't let a little thing like lack of ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas Richardson, smooth-voiced old sky god and eternal schemer. Passenger service is provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur, Carolyn's overexcited and idiotic (but well-meaning) son, and proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat.
Come along and support some of the wonderful talent we have at Branching Out!
