(Newport, KY) — Falcon Theatre is proud to announce its final production of the 2022-2023 season, Flyin’ West. Written by Pearl Cleage and directed Piper N. Davis, this breathtaking play tells the story of four African American women who journey to the western frontier in search of freedom and independence in the late 19th century.

Flyin’ West is a deeply relevant story about love, family, and freedom and has been praised by audiences and critics alike for its compelling storytelling, rich characters, and thought-provoking themes. Producing Artistic Director Ted J. Weil says, “Flyin’ West is a story that needs to be toldnow more than ever, and I am thrilled we will be presenting it with this talented team of artists.”
