May. 04
Sunday

fire work is set to receive its Rolling World Premiere in January 2026 at The VORTEX, supported by the National New Play Network (NNPN). This reading is a vital step in its development. 

 

Mary Glen Fredrick is coming from New York to join us in-person for this reading, a vital step in development and a rare opportunity to experience the play early in its journey toward our full production. Your presence and feedback are deeply valued.

 

Featuring performances by:

Jacqui Calloway as Eleanor
Dane Parker as Bartholomew
Michael Galvan as Fox
Allegra Jade Fox as Lula
Hayley Armstrong as Geraldina
Anais Summers Robbins as Factory Boss (with Sarah Frances Summers as Mother)

Playwright: Mary Glen Fredrick
Director: Bonnie Cullum

This event is part of The Lighthouse, a VORTEX initiative designed to provide learning opportunities for company artists to train, share skills, and create collaboratively. As such, this reading is not only a moment of artistic discovery, but also an invitation—to collaborate, to imagine, and to invest in the future of this powerful new work.We can’t wait to share this experience with you.
