BPI_logoTHE MAGIC FIRE by Lillian Groag

Directed by jef brown
Produced by Pam Kaesemeyer

Monday, July 20, and Tuesday July 21 at 7pm
with possible callbacks on Wednesday, July 22

At the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, Cincinnati, OH 45230

THE MAGIC FIRE concerns a family of Italian immigrants in the Buenos Aires of the 1950s at the time of the death of Eva Perón. The father, Otto Berg, himself a refugee from Nazi Austria, and his family find themselves trapped in the fascist system of Juan Perón’s regime, and once again retreat, taking private refuge in books, music, theatre and the arts. Their next-door neighbor, Henri Fontannes, a high-ranking officer in the Peronist army, is most likely involved in secret police activity in which enemies of the state are known to “disappear.” He and his wife, Angelica, share with the Bergs the geographical location of their living quarters and an ardent love for the arts. When the reality of the political situation enters the Bergs’ own apartment, they are forced to confront their ethical choices—morals and politics in place of art, and Fontannes becomes the only man who can help them.

The cast has 4 men ages 35-75

EXTREMITIES
By William Mastrosimone

In a vicious encounter, Marjorie is attacked in her home by a would-be rapist. She manages to turn the tables on him, imprisoning him in her fireplace. But when her roommates come home to find the assailant bound and blinded, tensions rise to a raging fever pitch. All the players must now deal with their own pasts and their future decisions – should the attacker pay with his life or not?  A searing story that featured Farah Fawcett on Broadway and in the film
