In the words of internationally acclaimed faerie artist, Brian Froud: “To dress as a faerie, donning wings, is to actively join in the dance, to be connected to creative spirit. Graceful or ecstatic dance; the radiant, rhythmic heartbeat; friendship; music; all these move easily across the boundaries, transcending language, race, and time.”

Bioflyer Productions has a ten year history of mounting unique and progressive entertainment ranging from Broadway musicals, original rock musicals, talent competitions, and most recently the local food competition Pizza Pandemonium at Highland Brewery. Artistic Director, Rock Eblen, continues to feature all his productions as fund raisers for The Eblen Charities.
