About the Production
​
Emily runs her own construction company, has been married for decades to her husband John, and their daughter’s wedding is fast approaching. Then Emily falls victim to a mysterious disease that strips away her senses and she is forced to rely on those around her, upending everyone's happy, middle-class lives. As she loses her ability to interact with the outside world, she discovers deep wells of feeling within herself for the people she loves.
​
A Small Fire is a bittersweet depiction of a couple navigating the unknowns of illness in this funny, heartbreaking, fresh, and deeply moving play.
About the Characters

​
Character NOTE 1: The actor playing Emily should be comfortable with dance and movement, because Emily has to dance an "impromptu, wild, angry dance, a St. Vitus's dance; it is despairing, ecstatic, and exhausting".
​
Character NOTE 2: The actors playing Emily and John will be performing acts of intimacy such as hand-holding and kissing, and simulated sexual intercourse (no nudity). We will provide an intimacy coordinator.
​
Advisory: This production contains adult language and themes including intimacy, love, and family.
Covid-19:
We are monitoring Covid safety and evaluating policies, and the safety of our cast, crew, audience, and staff is among our top priorities. During Season 6, masks will not be required onstage or in the audience but will be reassessed in the case of another outbreak.
