“I watched my students over these weeks transform – as individuals and as a class. The bonding that happened as they worked together was unlike anything that I have witnessed in my nine years of teaching.”

A genuine thank you for providing In Flight to our students in the Collier County Public Schools. The performance is engaging, tied to our curriculum, and beautifully performed by your actors and crew.

The In Flight Performance from Gulfshore Playhouse was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for our students. A story as important as this one, in a medium like this, is becoming less and less accessible to students. On that measure alone, the In Flight Performance is invaluable.
