SIZZLE SIZZLE FLY. The former computress sits her mini-skirted self down in a regulation Mission Control swivel chair, swings her impeccable long blonde hair, and becomes the first woman to slip on the black headset, a NASA engineer. It’s December 1968, Apollo 8 has gone behind the moon, and Poppy Northcutt holds her breath as the world changes faster than her return-to-earth trajectories can splash those dudes back down.
SIZZLE SIZZLE FLY was a 2015 EST/Sloan Commission

it received a Sloan rewrite commission in summer of 2018, and had two workshop presentations in the 2019 First Light Festival at EST, with sound design by Kate Marvin.
