Synopsis

Jerry Gorman is a guy from Passaic, New Jersey, who has always dreamed of flying, despite being dyslexic and terminally average. His girlfriend, Gracie, encourages him to discover his “Jerriosity” and reach for the sky! However, Jerry’s attempts to fly are thwarted by the FAA, the CIA, and Wal-Mart – not to mention Jerry’s mom. Finally, Jerry and Gracie stumble on the idea of tying 400 helium-filled balloons to a lawnchair. Jerry launches himself 16,000 feet into the stratosphere, where he meets Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Jerry finds himself faced with a difficult choice. Should he return to his earthbound life or join the Greats of Aviation in the sky? This delightful and uplifting fantasy, with book by Peter Ullian and music and lyrics by Robert Lindsey Nassif, is directed by Tony Award-nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett.
