Rainbow Productions is proud to present the original show "Follow Me." The show is based on the experiences of the famed World War II African American pilots known as the Tuskegee Airmen. It highlights their drive and determination to serve their country as pilots, tracing their history from their early training by Chief Charles Anderson, through a visit by Eleanor Roosevelt, and on to their successful missions from Italy to Berlin. The program will include original songs and puppets created specifically for this story.These programs are made possible through the generous support of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
Since 1977, David Messick and the people at Rainbow Puppet Productions have created shows that educate, entertain, and inspire. The Rainbow Puppets combine multiple puppet styles with original music and hand crafted puppets made by master puppeteers from across the country. Added to that are legendary voices. Virginia piano virtuoso Bruce Hornsby and Tuskegee Airman Ezra Hill are just some of the people who have helped the company create unique professional theater experiences for young audiences.
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
