What do toilet brushes, thought police, green candles, and the Ministry of Truth have in common?

The revolutionary imaginations of Alfred Jarry (UBU ROI) and George Orwell (1984) are blended together in a hybrid mash-up of two classics about power, hunger, corruption, and obscenity.

Firehouse's world premiere of UBU 84 is adapted and directed by James Ricks, just in time for the final sprint to the finish line in the presidential election race.

Opening is scheduled for Sat, Sept. 24 @ 7:30pm. The full performance schedule and ticket information will be available soon.
