‘Flyin’ West’ previews at Country Playhouse

“Flyin’ West,” a drama of humor, suspense, and sisterhood directed by Seret Scott, previews tonight at the Westport Country Playhouse and will run through June 16.  It is set in 1898 as the Civil War is still a living memory and the all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas, offers a refuge for many formerly enslaved people. At one homestead lives a family of courageous and sharp-witted women determined to make a place for themselves.  They overcome tremendous odds in a heroic effort to escape the scars of the past. Opening night is Saturday. Pictured are (l-r) Keona Welch, Brittany Bradford and Nikita Mathis. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
