Flights, Felines & Holy Frights is a hilarious and sharply observant one-woman show written and performed by Judith Herbig, directed by Beryl Eichenberger.

At 63, Judith sets out on her long-awaited dream trip across Amsterdam, Bruges, Paris, and Köln—armed with overstuffed luggage, fragile optimism, and questionable Google Maps skills. Instead of postcard moments, she finds holy statues in toilets, peeing cats, rooms the size of cupboards, aggressive street scammers, annoyed Uber drivers, and suspicious bananas. As she battles language barriers, physical limits, and absurd surprises, her inner monologue collides with reality in a riot of mismatched expectations.

Blending physical comedy, character impressions, song clips and photos, and storytelling, the show offers a laugh-out-loud meditation on travel, aging, independence, and the resilience it takes to keep dragging your suitcase forward—even when you’re lost, exhausted, and a swan is trying to steal your ice cream.
