Deep Flight Productions is a multidisciplinary company founded by award-winning artist Margaret Curry . Born from a desire to collaborate deeply and bravely in telling the stories that matter most, the company creates work across stage and screen that entertains, provokes, and reveals-bringing new life to established works while nurturing emerging writers and developing original projects in theatre, cabaret, digital media, and film. Deep Flight seeks to illuminate voices silenced by oppression or overlooked by mainstream entertainment, exploring the taboo, the inconvenient, the "hard to look at." The company celebrates the human spirit through stories of ordinary heroes and quiet moments that hold lifetimes, finding beauty and complexity in the margins and the mess.

Lanford Wilson (Playwright) was a pioneer of the Off-Off Broadway and regional theater movements. His plays are known for experimental staging, simultaneous dialogue, and deferred character exposition. He won a 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Talley's Folly (1979).

"Home Free!" and "The Madness of Lady Bright" (published together in 1968) are two one-act plays first performed in 1964. Balm in Gilead (1965), Wilson's first full-length play, is set in a crowded world of hustlers and junkies. The Rimers of Eldritch (1967) examines life in a small town. In 1969, along with longtime associate Marshall W. Mason and others, he founded the Circle Theater (later Circle Repertory Company ), a regional theater in New York City. Wilson remained involved with Circle Repertory until 1996, when it closed. Wilson achieved commercial success with The Great Nebula in Orion (1971), The Hot l Baltimore (1973; adapted for television 1975), and The Mound Builders (1975). He also wrote a cycle of plays about the effects of war on a family from Missouri; these include The 5th of July (1978; televised 1982), Talley's Folly, A Tale Told (1981), and Talley and Son (1985). His other plays include The Gingham Dog (1969), Lemon Sky (1970; televised 1987), and Angels Fall (1982).
