TREE OF FIRE Synopsis

When a Magnolia tree catches fire in an aged and ominous women’s prison, three female inmates forgotten and left to perish are jolted as their lives are threatened, into memories of their past that inform the truth of their souls and the urgent need to expose the inhumanity of the prison to the world.

After readings of the play at UCLA and Lincoln Heights Jail as well as excerpt performances at Theatre of Note and S.P.A.R.C. at the Old Jail in Venice, we are currently working toward going into full production here in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, most prisons are full and there are few choices as far as abandoned prisons. We are in the process of exploring our options to see which facility best suits the needs of the play and is available for use. There are prospectus packets available with more details for interested parties. We are in need financial assistance as well as extra staff in our efforts to launch TREE OF FIRE.
