“Fly,” a dance theater production created by the Pasadena Playhouse in California and the Crossroads Theatre Company in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is a tribute to the courage and resilience of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black military aviators in US history. Set in 1944, as Allied forces liberate Rome and British and US troops storm the Normandy beaches, four young men in Alabama enter the fray. Using dance and video projection, “Fly” takes the young men from training to combat, as they experience the anguish, fears, and triumphs of a brotherhood who fought for freedom abroad — and at home. New Victory Theater, 209 W. 42nd St. Mar. 26, 2 & 7 p.m.; Mar. 27, 3 p.m. Tickets are $15-$38 at newvictory.org.
