George Brent’s Grounded—the story of a female Air Force pilot who is grounded after becoming pregnant with her first child, and the aftermath—will run at The Pride Arts Center, 4147 N. Broadway, Oct. 23-Nov. 6.
Plot-wise, when the pilot returns to duty, she is reassigned from fighter jets to drones and must learn to navigate the intersection of wartime and home life. Reassigned to operate military drones from a windowless trailer outside Las Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and returns to her family each night. As the pressure to track a high-profile target mounts, the boundaries begin to blur between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols half a world away.
Amber Kelly will portray the pilot, with Lexi Saunders directing.
