FIRE HOUSE

You step into Chicago's oldest firehouse, preserved perfectly in time. A company of firefighters is preparing for the line of duty as a string of arsons breaks out across the city. They've taken an oath to protect the people and property of Chicago. But they are not alone in the firehouse, and they are not the only ones who feel a duty to fight for a better world. You will travel from room to room, deciding for yourself who these individuals are as time, space, gender, and fate bend around you. Each audience member will have a completely unique experience. Your imagination and participation will be required.

Performances select evenings May 15-30. Runtime: Approximately 75 minutes. There will be no intermission.
