Photo Flash: Upstream Theater presents the English Language Premiere of WILDFIRE

By:

Six fates, three fables, one family.

Claudette, Claudia, Claudine, Carol, Callum, and Caroline have more in common than names that begin with C-they are haunted by a family history of childhood trauma, which unfolds across three generations-and then loops back ... to the future.

They do what they can to survive. Sometimes by baking cookies, sometimes by playing fantasy games, and sometimes by smashing a hammer into a TV.

Highly absurd, terribly funny and beautifully constructed, WILDFIRE is a mix of ferocious black comedy and a humanistic worldview which recognizes that seemingly unremarkable lives can experience extraordinary fates.

Directed by Philip Boehm

Cast: Nancy Bell, Tom Wethington, Jane Paradise

Jan 26, Jan 30-Feb 2, Feb 6-9

The Marcelle - 3310 Samuel Shepard Dr, St. Louis, MO 63103
