WYO Theater to Feature National Theatre Live Productions

The WYO Performing Arts and Education Center will offer several productions from National Theatre Live during the 2023-2024 season, beginning with a production of “Jack Absolute Flies Again” on Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. 

 

National Theatre Live brings the best of British theater to cinema screens all over the UK and beyond. With state-of-the-art filming techniques, attendees of the events hosted by the WYO Theater will always have the best seat in the house. 

 

“Jack Absolute Flies Again,” written by Richard Bean and Oliver Chris, and directed by Emily Burns, tells the story of pilot officer Jack Absolute. The story is based on “The Rivals” by Richard Sheridan and begins after an aerial dog fight, when the pilot flies home to rejoin his squadron. Once back on British soil, Jack Absolute is shocked to find his old love interest on the base. He sets his sights on winning her heart, but with turbulence and hilarity never far away, his advances quickly turn to anarchy.

• Nov. 30 — “The Seagull” 

• Feb. 1 — “The Crucible” 

• Feb. 15 — “Othello”
