Conversations with Airplanes
Fish out of water, military spouse, and “sometimes poet,” Deedra Darlington just moved on base. In a sea of acronyms and uniforms and on the hunt for something familiar, she’s as out of place as her windblown hair.
Conversations with Airplanes, a new play created and performed by Courtney Siebring, takes a handstand’s view of military life, while exploring the adventure of moving beyond the comfortable.
Hilarious, sweet, and hopelessly awkward, Deedra confides in her audience of “potential friends” as she stakes out her place in a strange new world.
Audience reviews:
“I’ve been a military spouse for 23 years and you have finally put to words what I’ve been feeling. Thanks for the GIFT!”
“You’ve created something special here, very intriguing & passionate.”
“Incredible! I laughed and cried as I rode along on an emotional roller coaster. [She] absolutely nailed it! Our friends have e-mailed just to say how much they loved the experience and they are non military and from the prairies.”
