A dramatic play inspired by the stories of the first African American aviators in the U.S. Army’s Air Force will be presented 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 at Stockton University’s Performing Arts Center.
Written and directed by Layon Gray, “Black Angels Over Tuskegee” tells the story of six men who, despite Jim Crow-era inequality, exhibited courage and patriotism and formed a brotherhood.
According to Backstage, the play, inspired by true events, not only teaches, celebrates or entertains but “manages to do all three and one thing more: It inspires.”
Tickets are $40 for the general public, $38 for senior citizens (65+) and military, $35 for Stockton alumni, $30 for Stockton faculty and staff, $18 for children 17 and under and $12 for Stockton students.
