Living History

Amazing Skies Theater is the Museum's multi-generational drama troupe that brings history to life through original and scripted presentations, both on stage and up close and personal.

Ever wondered what went through Amelia Earhart’s mind before she left on her final flight? How soldiers in WWI dealt with the horrors of the trenches? What inspired Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of flying machines? Find out with Amazing Skies!


Availability & Price

Living history characters can be found around the Museum on most weekends, Tuesdays, and other peak times. These characters provide a glimpse into aviation history through personal stories and hands-on demonstrations throughout the day. Locations and times vary, but look for them especially in the Red Barn, Personal Courage Wing, or Aviation Pavilion.

Amazing Skies Theater also occasionally produces plays and performances about aviation history. Past productions include Salute to Space Animals, A WASP’s Story, and Cloud in a Bag. Check the calendar for these special events.
