As previously reported, Tony Award winner John Doyle (Sweeney Todd, Company, A Catered Affair) will helm the drama that explores the resilience of the human spirit. Wings will officially open Oct. 24 and run through Nov. 21.

Here's how Second Stage bills the work: "Arthur Kopit's 1978 Tony-nominated play, Wings, is a journey through the eye of Emily Stilson, a 1920s wingwalker who discovers her life's journey is a series of courageous adventures, proving that even when her mental self fails her, her daredevil spirit proves unflappable."

Wings will feature scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, lighting design by Jane Cox and projection design by Peter Nigrini.
