BIG FISH: SMALL CAST Comes to The Firehouse Theatre

Time stops, daffodils bloom and adventure thrives for three weeks in May in The Firehouse Theatre's Big Fish: Small Cast.

When asked what drew him to this production, Director Alex S. Freeman states, "For me the big attraction was the magical realism of it. That, plus the story of the father and son [Will and Edward], that type of story has always appealed to me. It's going to be a fun night of theatrical storytelling."

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest...and then some! Edward's incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him-most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father's epic tales. This new, small-cast version (for 12-actors) of the Broadway musical is overflowing with heart and humor. Big Fish is an experience that's richer, funnier, and bigger than life itself!
