SUMMARY:“Defying Gravity” by Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Theatre
DESCRIPTION:\nAugust 7-9 and 14-15, 2026Directed by Kami Zbanek HillWritten by Jane AndersonUptown Theatre at the First Street Community Center\n\n\n\nDirected by Kami Zbanek Hill\n\n\n\nThis free-structured look at the 1986 Challenger disaster places the teacher who died with six others as they hurtled into space at the center of an exploration of our need to reach beyond ourselves and dare the universe. \n\n\n\nDefying Gravity artfully interweaves the past with the present and the lives of participants and bystanders, drawing parallels among painter Claude Monet’s artistic quest, the zest of the teacher selected to the first civilian astronaut, the perspectives of her grieving daughter, the aspirations of elderly tourists who drive their Winnebago to Florida to watch the space shot and dream of hotels in space, the guilt felt by a NASA mechanic, and his girlfriend’s fear of heights.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor tickets & more information: https://www.mvlct.com/shows-2026 ( https://www.mvlct.com/shows-2026 )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare This Page:
