Flyin' West presented by Bowie Community Theatre at Bowie Playhouse

Flyin' West is Atlanta playwright Pearl Cleage's critically praised true story of four female former slaves who travel from the South to the West after the Civil War in search of a better life. This incredible, lesser-known slice of American history, presented by Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse, examines this small group of black women who settled the first all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas in the late 1800s. Overcoming tremendous odds, they brave the untamed frontier, brutal winters and other challenges to build this town that's a historic national landmark today.
