ABOUT FIGHT OR FLIGHT THEATER:
"We do plays on the trapeze; and we've been doing it since 2008.  That’s the simplest way to put it.  We’re a group of Rocky Mountain-trained MFA-bearing actor/aerialists with a hankerin’ for visceral storytelling, imaginative staging, and a wee bit of irreverence.  We adore Theater and respect its great artists; but we will not hesitate to cut that Shakespeare joke about the “English Kersey” and the “French Velvet” if it’s not funny to a modern audience (Meas 1.ii).  We aim to break open great stories with innovative imagery, and elevate piece’s poetry by literally elevating ourselves." 

-- The Fight or Flight Theater Company
