THE FIRE

Devised by Rider University students and faculty, THE FIRE is a world premiere production that investigates the theme of "perspective," while taking an in-depth look at the United States education system. Set in a fictional small town, the story follows a cast of characters as they try to solve a mystery about who burned down an abandoned school. Combining verbatim text from real-life interviews, improvisation, and movement, this collaborative piece will explore the nature of an organizational system, examine how it affects different members of a community, and consider what happens when it becomes too complicated to change.
