Written by Megan Fevurly, a MFA playwriting candidate and distance student in the Theatre Arts Department, “Tightrope” explores family traditions and dynamics. The script is inspired by the true story of an aerial artist who wanted to cross Niagara Falls without a safety net, despite the fact his great-grandfather had fallen to his death years before in a similar stunt.
