The personal and the political are indistinguishable in American playwright George Brant's gripping one-woman play about a hot-rod fighter pilot whose unexpected pregnancy ends her career in the sky.
MMSC's '15 Summer Season
An Entire Weekend of Readers Theatre
Three different days, three different plays
First Up
on Friday, July 17 at 8PM
GROUNDED by George Brant
"Critic's Pick. A scorching sharp-eyed, timely script...lets no one off easy...clap all you want at the end of the play - and you'll want to clap a lot - but the game stays with you"
- Time Out New York

Greetings!

A hotshot F-16 pilot reports back to duty after an unexpected pregnancy, and finds herself reassigned to flying drones from a windowless trailer near Las Vegas. As she hunts insurgents by day and returns to her family each night, boundaries increasingly blur between the desert in which she lives and the virtual one she patrols a world away. Grounded is a gripping new play that explodes our assumptions about war, family, and personal responsibility.

 

Directed by Christine Crawfis and featuring Janet Nurre as The Pilot.
