About this Event

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.


An original devised work created by the ensemble:

Capri Gerhard O’Donnell, Jarais Musgrove, Margo O’Donnell, Matthew Schlerf, Sivan Spector, Steven Hou

Featuring original music by Alex Levatter and Nu A.M.

Directed by Sivan Spector

Produced by Emily Rapport

Dramaturgy and Graphic Design by Matthew Schlerf

Scenic Design by Claire Bergey

Lighting Design by Amina Gilbert

Presented in partnership with Firehouse Art Studio, with support from Independent Productions Initiative through Redtwist Theatre
