Event Description

Join us as we sail (or fly!) down memory lane with a screening of CROpera’s 2010 production of this fun and quirky musical! Personalize your experience by joining us live and in-person at Lion Bridge Brewing... or at home from your couch!

About the Show: Jerry Gorman is a regular guy from Passaic, New Jersey who just wants to fly. The neighbors think he’s nutty and his mother disapproves. But his girlfriend Gracie believes in him. Loosely based on a true story, Jerry soars to 16,000 feet with nothing but a lawnchair and 400 helium balloons. FLIGHT OF THE LAWNCHAIR MAN is a musical that reminds us that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.

Cedar Rapids Opera strives to create an environment that is welcoming and safe for all, and that's why we've come up with two ways to enjoy this event according to your comfort level. Read on for details!

Enjoy at Lion Bridge Brewing

For an in-person experience, join us as at Lion Bridge Brewing for a brewer-guided tasting of five delicious beers and screening with your fellow CROpera friends, including some of your favorite cast members!

Enjoy at Home

More comfortable snuggling in to watch the show from home? No problem! Register at Eventbrite to receive a self-guided beer tasting and a link to the screening right from your own computer, smart TV, or personal device. The digital "curtain" will rise promptly at 7:30…but unlike a normal show, you can pause this one to go get more snacks!

Ticket Options:

IN-PERSON with TASTING: I want to gather with others at Lion Bridge Brewing! Ticket includes screening, brewer-guided, 5-beer flight tasting, and pretzel bites with beer cheese and mustard: $30

IN-PERSON DESIGNATED DRIVER: I want to gather with others at Lion Bridge Brewing! Ticket includes screening, non-alcoholic beverage of choice, and pretzel bites with beer cheese and mustard: $15

AT-HOME with TASTING: I will enjoy the show from home! But... I still want that beer flight and pretzel bites! Luckily for me, I can pick up my to-go food and beverage from Lion Bridge (complete with a tasting guide and program notes!), then head home to catch the show. Ticket includes link to 7:30 PM digital screening, a to-go 4-beer flight tasting, and pretzel bites with beer cheese and mustard: $20

AT HOME/SCREENING ONLY: I just want to be transported by this charming, quirky musical from the comfort of my own home. Just a screening ticket for me, please! Ticket includes link to 7:30 PM digital screening only.

Whichever way you choose to enjoy the evening, we're so glad you're along for the ride!


FAQs

I know my service at Lion Bridge will be awesome! Should I leave a tip? Gratuity is already included, so if you're just having the beer flight and pretzels, you're good to go! But if you order other food, please tip accordingly. It's what The Lawnchairman would do, after all!

Does that mean I can order other food and beverage? Absolutely! That's what celebrations are for!

Is this event held indoors or outdoors? As much as we love the Midwest, we know better than to trust Iowa November weather. We'll be inside in the large tasting room this time around.
