The Highest Step In The World presented by Ghost River Theatre Location: Pumphouse Theatres When: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 to Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 8PM Contact: Elaine Weryshko Email: green.jeannie8@gmail.com WebSite: www.ghostrivertheatre.com In 1960, Captain Joseph Kittinger leaped from a high-altitude weather balloon as part of Project Excelsior, a scientific program designed to test a new parachute system at the edge of space. Kittinger holds the world record for the longest free-fall ever, and is the only person ever to have broken the sound barrier without a vehicle. Kittingerʼs story is the basis for Ghost River Theatreʼs spectacular Betty Mitchell Award-winning The Highest Step in the World, an exhilarating 75-minute solo performance that integrates projection and flying technology in a meditation on the nature of risk. The Highest Step in the World runs at the Victor Mitchell Theatre (Pumphouse Theatres) October 18 29, 2011. Tickets: $35 (Reg.)/ $30 (Students & Seniors). Oct. 18 is a Pay What You Can Preview performance, and Oct. 19 is a reduced price preview. Thurs., Oct. 20 is Opening Night. Evening performances are at 8pm, with additional 2pm matinees on Oct. 22 and 23. For ticket purchase and information call 403.263.0079 or visit www.pumphousetheatres.ca..
