Flying Dreams is a one man show with multi-characters that is hilarious and heartbreaking. Encouraged by a brash friend, a young, painfully shy American juggler finds himself penniless and alone on the streets of Europe. Weaving the worlds of theater, circus, vaudeville and busking, Flying Dreams features smart comedy, deft character work and high level juggling. Drawing from Jessup’s personal life experience as a second-generation street performer and based on a true story.
