The Aviatrix: A New Musical

"What would you sacrifice for your dreams?"

Told by a cast of all womxn voices, The Aviatrix follows Harriet Quimby, the first American woman to earn her pilot's license and the first woman in the world to fly across the English Channel. We join Harriet in her journey as her constant drive to achieve greatness overtakes her relationships, including her friendship with fellow aviatrix, Matilde Moisant. With a contemporary pop and jazz score, The Aviatrix shares Harriet Quimby's legacy with a new audience and sings the story of this forgotten American hero.

This will be one of the very first musicals created and produced during the pandemic. Every stage of development is being achieved entirely remotely. The use of green screens and the latest technology in recording software has allowed The Aviatrix to safely meet every challenge presented in our socially distant age. With the leadership of Ellie Handel, a creator at the forefront of pandemic theatre, The Aviatrix is something never seen before.
