Called “a remarkable performance” by Flying Magazine, the painstakingly researched, produced and directed Charlie, Victor, Romeo allows audience members to enter into the tension filled cockpit of real in-flight emergencies. What the audience witnesses are remarkable portraits of courage, human frailty, and grace under fire. Presented by request to groups ranging from healthcare and flying professionals to West Point students and members of the US Air Force Charlie, Victor, Romeo is not only an exceptional theatrical piece: “It has lessons in it that are universal.” -Col. Jim Brooks, Chief of Operational Training, USAF, Air Force Times. Charlie Victor Romeo “is about the triumph of the human spirit, and calm in the middle of chaos.”-The New York Times.

A true story, Eliza Jane Schneider’s twenty-five character solo play, Freedom of Speech, will take the audience on her journey through the kitchenettes and hearts of Arizona polygamists, Los Angeles dominatrixes and Montana Huterites, and into the real social emergencies facing America as a nation. Arkansas fiddles, Pittsburgh street rap and New Orleans midnight arias provide the soundtrack to Schneider’s 317,000-mile spiritual quest, born of her hypothesis that dialects—residual phonemes– are the only archeological dig the kids of America have. What began as a World Arts and Cultures thesis project at UCLA and evolved through various cocoons as Road Trip and USA 911 emerges as a jarring sociopolitical manifesto, Freedom of Speech.
