WOMEN ON FIRE (Little Theatre) Comic/dramatic monologues. Irene O’Garden. 1-12 females.“A dozen women with plenty to say…Bewitching…astounding… heartbreaking,” --N Y Times. This evening of emotionally-charged women’s monologues starred Judith Ivey, and was twice extended Off-Broadway, where it played to sold-out houses. While it was nominated for a Lortel Award for Best Solo Show, it has successfully been performed by larger casts.

From ad exec to midwest Mom to caregiver to construction worker, each character is on fire in her own way—with passion, fear, self-discovery, even shopping! Many good roles for mature actresses. Exploring a breadth of classic and contemporary women’s issues with humor and wisdom, “Women On Fire is about indomitable spirit, and the ways that storytelling serves that spirit. It’s heartwarming, riveting drama”—NY Theatre.com. “Fresh, spirited phrasing…plumbing the secret depths of ordinary women.”—Backstage. “Hot pick”--NY Newsday, “Notable”—USA Today. Wall Street Journal/Zagat Theater Survey Highest Rating (97% audience satisfaction.)
