Big Machine runs approximately
2 hours and 15 minutes
and is presented in Two Acts with
one 15-minute intermission.

Big Machine is made possible in part through Fly North Theatricals' Theater For All Initiative (TFAI). The TFAI is the manifestation of Fly North's mission to make attending high-quality theater and the ability to learn the craft more financially accessible in our community by…

  1. Providing over $10,000 in scholarships to career-oriented students from throughout the region for private lessons in voice, acting, and dance and
  2. Subsidizing up to 10% of tickets for Fly North's season shows via partner organizations. 
  3. Producing a yearly free-to-the-public production in which local theater professionals perform alongside FNT students ages 13-18 in order to foster their theatrical learning via a real-life theatrical experience.

Please help support the TFAI by giving here if it makes sense for your financial situation. 

Thank you so much and enjoy the world premiere of Big Machine.
