Summary
JetBoo cAirlines was street theatre centered on the turbulence leading up to election day 2020. With punchy but non-partisan antics the air hostesses provided comedy, choreography and souvenirs to ease upset tummies - all from a COVID-safe distance from the unsuspecting audience. They appeared at early voting centers, restaurant patios, sidewalks, universities and parks.
Troupe members were from the drag, puppetry, burlesque, activist, public art and theater communities of Minneapolis.
