The Arsonists - A relative theatrics production
Date: Thursday, April 20th 2023
Time: 7:30pm MST/Doors 7:00pm MST
Location: Laramie Plains Civic Center - Gryphon Theatre
Tickets: Discounts available for Shepard Symposium attendees (TBA)
About: The Arsonists is a lyrical Southern Gothic tale inspired by Electra about a father-daughter arson team who escapes to the Florida Everglades. It’s a provocative journey from grief to redemption that delves into the primal bond between parent and child, and explores if that bond can ever truly be broken. "In Jacqueline Goldfinger’s spellbinding new play, the playwright honors the history of theater, but it’s also contemporary.” “An impactful, spine-chilling meditation on the age-old themes of life and death, the power that nature holds over humanity, and the ties that bind father to daughter.” "Haunting, and atmospheric, [this] is not your usual family piece, nor is it anything like a conventional ghost story."
