Laurel Ollstein Flies High with Jerrie Cobb’s Dream
by Patricia L. Morin
The true story of hopeful astronaut Jerrie Cobb inspires us to reach for the heavens, and to pursue what we most love.
At TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, in Palo Alto, Jerrie (magnetic Sarah Mitchell) stands alone in a spotlight, with a control tower looming over her. Scenic designer Christopher Fitzler creates a sterile environment with vertical bars of white light and eerie, camouflage wall coverings. In a tightly sealed isolation tank, Cobb is undergoing a demanding psychological test for astronauts.
She hallucinates, and unfolds her life before us.
At age five, shy Jerrie knows “God wants her to be a pilot, even if others do not understand. She longs to “fly … through the clouds … to hear myself breathing. The same air that angels breathe.” She dreams of a freedom I felt when I flew a 172 Cessna Skyhawk on the wings of angels.
