Careful planning and partnerships must be made before a production can be brought to life before an audience.
#LONGEST FREEFALL FREE#
Once all the plans are put into place, the skydiver is able to take the jump and experience the freedom and exhilaration of the free fall. Before one can free fall, one must carefully plan the jump, such as acquiring the proper equipment (most importantly the parachute) and partnering with the best skilled individuals. The feeling during this time of “free fall” is described by skydivers as exhilarating, freeing, and terrifying. In skydiving terms the “free fall” is when the skydiver is simply letting the power of gravity pull them to the earth-there is no parachute. The name FreeFall Stage pays tribute to the brother of our executive director, who was himself a fellow thespian and avid skydiver, who passed away in 2010. We are dedicated to continue supporting these incredible organizations and using our talents to provoke positive change in our World. We were honored to partner with local anti-trafficking organizations such as 3Strands Global/Break Free Run (formerly known as Run For Courage), Courage Worldwide, and Blue Heart International to bring awareness and encourage audience members to take action to end human trafficking in our lifetime. In the Spring of 2014, we produced (for the first time in the U.S.) Andrew Kooman’s critically acclaimed anti-trafficking drama She Has a Name (see under Performances in the U.S.), which included a 7 run tour from the Summer of 2014 through the Spring of 2016. in Folsom and we said goodbye to our very first “home.” Since that time, we have been operating/performing nomadically at various private and public venues in the Folsom and Greater Sacramento areas. In the Summer of 2015, after 14 years in the same space, the lease was up at Reading St. Then, in the summer of 2012, the organization changed the name to the shorter, catchier, and easier to say “FreeFall Stage.” Under this new name we continued to grow and expand the classes we offered and the plays we produced. Beginning in the summer of 2009, the name was expanded to “and Integral Theatre Company” to include the community theatre aspect of the organization. Actors Workshop” (Talented Home Educated), they began training high school students, which culminated in a production at the end of each semester. in Folsom, FreeFall Stage established a foundation of teaching the craft and history of theatre. ~OUR HISTORY~īeginning in the fall of 2002 on Reading St. FreeFall Stage has presented 50 productions, produced nearly 60 plays, and garnered 36 nominations for awards in nearly every theatrical category in Sacramento’s prestigious theatrical awards program.

#LONGEST FREEFALL PROFESSIONAL#
It is a genuine chance at watching history take place.Mission Statement: Providing theatrical training and professional quality, thought provoking, entertaining live theatre for patrons of all ages. This is not a record that will be broken every year, or even close. With so many records on the line over such a short period of time, watching is a must. We're talking about fewer than six minutes to see a human being break the sound barrier without anything other than his body. But for everything he's trying, the reason to watch is that it won't take much to do so. The fact that Baumgartner is going to break this record by such a big amount is the only sign you need that this will never be attempted. If anyone was ever going to try what Baumgartner is doing, it would have happened then. Remember that in the time since Kittinger's jump, we've seen Evel Kenevil spark an interest in being a daredevil. If people could jump from a higher distance, they would have done so at some point over the last 52 years. The only proof of that is how long it's taken for this record to fall. The pure physics of the situation make it so you really can't jump from much higher. That would not only be insane, but nearly impossible. There is no way that any of those records will ever be broken unless someone jumps from a higher distance.

Air Force colonel Joe Kittinger, who jumped from 102,800 feet in 1960.īaumgartner's mark would break that record by more than three miles.

Angela Daidone of said that this would break the existing record for longest free fall, which is owned by U.S.
