SUMMARY:Theater J's The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk
DESCRIPTION:Theater J presents THE FLYING LOVERS OF VITEBSK by Daniel Jamieson with music by Ian Ross and Sarah O’Halloran Directed by Hayley Finn. \nBefore the paintings\, poems\, and fame\, Bella and Marc Chagall were two young dreamers whose love transformed the world around them.
