Fly is a one-man dramatic comedy about an African American man, who believes he will receive the power to fly on the night of a special celestial event that will send transforming energy to planet Earth. As he prepares for this special event on a Brooklyn rooftop, he shares the comic, dramatic, and tragic experiences that have pushed him to the edge of reality. Fly trumpets the social justice, spiritual, and political challenges of what it means to be conscious and Black in America.
