Step into the bicycle shop where two brothers changed the world. Wilbur & Orville: The Workshop Upstairs is a one-person theatrical portrait of a family and the partnership that changed the world. The play transports audiences from the brothers’ humble beginnings in Dayton, Ohio, to their triumphant first flights at Kitty Hawk and beyond.

Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast, a lover of live theater, or simply curious about the spirit of invention, The Workshop Upstairs invites you to see the Wright Brothers as you’ve never seen them before: not just as icons, and names we recogonize, but as brothers, dreamers, and the pioneers whose genius changed the world.
