Description:
In this immersive, concert style indie-pop musical, the girl band trio of historic poets Sara Teasdale, Emily Dickinson, and Sappho come together to answer (with the help of the audience) a single question: how do you handle loneliness when you aren't sure when that loneliness will ever end? Weaving together their poetry, comedy, and the kinds of conversations you can only have at 3am when the world seems small, "All We Know of Love & Fire" is a joyful, intimate— and sometimes mournful— exploration of community, art, and what keeps our inner flames alive.
Developed initially at NYU Tisch's Graduate Musical Theater Writing mfa Program, with further development at the Brick Theater and the Paper Kraine Theater, "Love & Fire" is premiering a new, full-length version of the piece.
