Maine East Fine Arts invites you to join them for their fall play, They Promised Her the Moon! Performances will take place on Thursday, October 1 at 4 p.m., and Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3 at 7 p.m. in the Maine East High School Auditorium. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door and online at bit.ly/MEBoxOffice 🎟

They Promised Her the Moon tells the true, long-overlooked story of Jerrie Cobb, a skilled aviator who passed the same rigorous physical and psychological tests as the Mercury 7 astronauts in 1960. Despite proving that women were equally capable of spaceflight, Cobb’s dreams were derailed by systemic bias and political hurdles. To learn more, please visit bit.ly/D207MEFallPlay26 🌙
