The Order of Fifinella

Show Description:

An exciting new play “The Order of Fifinella” by Alaina Tennant will be presented at Makeshift as a reading. During World War Two, a group of young women risked their lives as flying aircraft for the United States Military. Thirty years later, the same women -- now in their 50s and 60s -- found that their service had been entirely overlooked, beginning a long debate about what it means to be officially recognized as US Veterans.

"The Order of Fifinella" follows a small group of headstrong and ambitious women, first during the war when they served as pilots, and then in the 1970s after decades of change and disillusionment.
