Set in 1950s heartland America, Ace is the epic story of 10-year-old Danny Lucas' attempt to find his place in the present, and unlock his future. When Danny receives a toy plane as an unexpected gift, he's launched on an adventure of discovery to reconstruct the pieces of his shattered past. Thru a series of mysterious revelations, Danny's transported back in time - flying into the gathering storm over Europe during aerial dogfights of WWI and soaring with the daring Tiger squadrons of WWII in the skies above Southeast Asia. A tale of triumph, transcendence, humor, and heart as seen through the prism of a child's eyes, Ace magically explores the heroic lives and unforeseen legacies of the men and women of our greatest generations. *Dates: Aug. 26-Sep. 28. |
