Plane Girl
A New Musical by Hayley Goldenberg, Canaan J. Harris and Julia Sonya Koyfman
About
Plane Girl is a five-person musical comedy with an all women+ cast. The show follows sixteen year old aspiring pilot and Amelia Earhart fanatic, Jeri Robertson. When Jeri’s mysterious new girlfriend Celeste beckons Jeri to take off on an adventure to explore the world, Jeri makes the dangerous (and illegal) choice to take off after her - literally. Plane Girl is about the sacrifices we make for love and explores themes of girlhood, motherhood, and what it takes to embrace who you are with all of your flaws.
