Presented by American Repertory Theatre and World Music/CRASHarts, in association with the Loeb Drama Center.

A unique and riveting theatrical experience, Charlie Victor Romeo (CVR) is a live performance documentary derived entirely from the "black box" transcripts of six major real-life airline emergencies. Catapulting the audience into the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, CVR is a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a testament to the strength of the human spirit. After its 1999 New York debut, the play became an instant theatrical sensation with sold-out houses for eight months and enormous praise from the aviation community.

Running time: approximately 90 minutes, no intermission.
Charlie Victor Romeo = CVR = Cockpit Voice Recorder

"Charlie Victor Romeo holds you in a hammerlock for 90 unforgettable minutes. It's the most frightening show I've ever seen." - Wall Street Journal

"Intensely engrossing ... a brilliant, powerful experience." - New York Times

"No show in town can match its sheer intensity or hermetic artistic perfection." - Time Out New York
