This play soars!

IN FLIGHT is a delightful romp through the world of airline publications! The verse and rhyming couplets reinforces the fast pace of the plot. With intrigue and deception, this comedy packs a punch!

I found myself reading parts out loud so that I could enjoy the word play that Jenny Lyn Bader weaves throughout the play. It is absolutely delightful.

Not Adverse to Verse

Though modern plays writ in verse
Aspire to Moliere but prove much worse,
Bader’s In Flight soars past style
To entertain with heart while
Telling a tale both clever and droll,
Without its couplets taking a toll
On our understanding. Will Bader
launch a verse trend sooner or later?
Writing this review was not easy work
But a task I cannot shirk
In appreciation for an impressive feat
I could not hope to exceed or meet.
Produce In Flight with a merry heart
And crowds from money happily will part!
