WHAT WE NEED...
WHAT WE NEED...
IS A
NEW KIND OF HERO
After a World Premiere AND a West Coast Premiere, UP AND AWAY is ready to make audiences beam with joy and laugh themselves silly all over again!
Before Superman could fly…
Before Spiderman could swing…
Somebody had to work out the kinks…
Imagine Superman: the Movie meets Operation Mincemeat - maximum fun, minimum budget. With just five actors playing over 50 roles, a band of only 3, and a unit set, this zippy, fast-paced show is packed with comic-book energy, hysterical surprises, and a ton of heart in a hero discovering strength he never knew he had.
"...within ten years, mark my words: Theatres around the country will be putting up, up, 'Up and Away'..."
