The Ridgewood-based First Flight Theatre Company was created in November 2019 but has yet to take off, grounded by the coronavirus.
The not-for-profit troupe “devoted to presenting the plays of 20th century American playwright Maxwell Anderson” and other playwrights who “instill poetry in their writing” has had a couple of test-flight readings and workshop productions over the past year, but still awaits the day it can mount its first full-fledged work.
