A COLLECTIVE is pleased to announce the limited Off Broadway engagement of Dakota Silvey’s FLIGHT RISK, directed by Dougie Robbins and starring Youtube Creator Erik Van Conover in his stage debut, as well as Conor Andrew Hall and Grace Sallee. A harrowing story about what happens when the human spirit is pushed to the brink, FLIGHT RISK will play a one-week limited engagement at Off-Broadway’s The Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond St, New York, NY, 10012). Performances begin Wednesday, March 6 and continue through Sunday, March 11. Opening Night is Wednesday, March 6 (7:30 p.m.). Tickets are $30 and available at https://www.onthestage.tickets/show/dakota-silvey/659573f02ded540e45f07f23/tickets.
FLIGHT RISK tells the story of a hunter and a midwife stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with their wounded pilot. As near-death confessions come forth, we are left to question who, if anyone, is telling the truth.
“This thrilling play spirals out of control in a vortex of lies and will make you question every lie you've ever told,” says playwright and producer Dakota Silvey. “The most looked-up word in 2023 was "Authentic." By the end of this play, you'll question whether anyone is truly authentic.”
The production is the first project by the new theater company, A Collective, spearheaded by Dakota Silvey. The production features scenic/props design by Shawn Lewis, costume design by Mark Reynolds, lighting design by Gilbert Pearto, sound design by Luis Antonio Guzmán Galdos, and projection design by Rachel Shatzkin.
