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, and 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), Tug – Jonathan Collet

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.
