But then Conk hasn’t exactly demonstrated devotion to the cause – he’s skipping night two of the stakeout for a family function, or so he claims. But hasn’t Fleckwell’s behavior been a bit shady as well? Did Conk really see Fleckwell’s car parked in THAT parking lot? And what is that smell?

A typical college general education course is nearing the end of the semester and the instructor discusses the final project with the students. Since the course is The Concept of Death in the Renaissance, they are tasked with portraying the deaths found in Shakespeare’s canon. Seems simple enough- act out a few death scenes and all done. He meant ALL the deaths in Shakespeare’s entire canon of plays- including the offstage ones. That is over 150 deaths to be presented in their “production”, which is the entirety of act 2 of this play. The students put their own twists on interpreting the fight scenes. Some are brilliant, some not so much. This is a wonderful action comedy for actors and audience alike.

“FIRE MELT STONE is a poignant, coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of 1889 Spokane Washington, just before the devastating fire that would change everything. At its core, the play follows the journey of Matty Heartshorn, a strong-willed twelve-year-old who feels the weight of her family’s hardships pressing down on her as she searches for something—anything—that can make life feel whole again after her father’s death. Matty, alongside her younger sister Dot and their friend George, sets out on an adventure fueled by half-believed stories of monsters and treasure. But what starts as a quest for something mythical slowly transforms into a confrontation with the real monsters of loss, grief, and the struggles that come with growing up too fast. Along the way, they encounter a grizzled prospector named Klein, and Matty, determined to break free from the burdens of family duty, must face her own inner fears. The play is rich with a dreamlike quality, where whispered secrets into stones are just as real as the burning city that threatens to engulf them. Matty’s journey is one of survival—both physical and emotional—as she fights to protect the people she loves most from the encroaching flames of loss and change. Fire Melt Stone is a story about the fire that burns inside us all: the fire of grief, of resilience, and of the ties that bind a family together, even when everything else seems to fall apart. It’s a haunting yet hopeful reminder that sometimes, the things that hold us together are stronger than anything trying to tear us apart.”

In this fast-moving “light comedy about dark people leading private lives in public places,” when the grieving Charlie Windsor meets the gregarious Diana Black-White in a New York Theater District bar they become instant BFFs.
