Book Description

Publication Date: April 16, 2007

Taking Flight, a personal account of her friendship with a woman who was seriously injured in the 9/11 attack. An energetic, endearing, enthusiastic performer, Sevan mixes comedy with seeming tragedy as she craftily blends bits of women's issues and personal issues with the catastrophe. Out of it comes a message for mourners as well as survivors. Taking Flight celebrates the power of the heart in a remarkable, brave and uplifting performance. Interwoven into the play are harrowing stories about how Sevan got to the hospital on that fateful day, offering just enough details to engulf the audience in the intense drama. Producing Director, Susan Loewenberg conducts an exclusive interview with Adriana Sevan.
