Learning To Fly

"Very funny, disarmingly honest and surprisingly tender!"

Join acclaimed writer, storyteller and performer James Rowland as he brings his captivating mix of storytelling, music and comedy to our Studio.

In Learning to Fly, James tells the story of a remarkable friendship he made when he was a lonely, unhappy teenager with the scary old lady who lived in the spooky house on his street. 
 
It’s about connection, no matter what the obstacles, love’s eternal struggle with time, and music and its ability to heal. 
 
It’s also about her last wish: to get high once before she died. 
 
Uplifting, big hearted and hilarious, this is James’s first new show since his acclaimed Songs of Friendship trilogy.
