Who By Fire, by Diana Spechler

Wednesday, January 11, 11:00 AM
Thursday, January 12, 7:30 PM

 Dec book

  Sharp and captivating, Who by Fire deftly explores what happens when people try to rescue one another. Bits and Ash were children when the kidnapping of their younger sister, Alena-an incident for which Ash blames himself-caused an irreparable family rift. Thirteen years later, Ash is living as an Orthodox Jew in Israel, cutting himself off from his mother, Ellie, and his wild-child sister, Bits. But soon he may have to face them again; Alena's remains have finally been uncovered. Now Bits is traveling across the world in a bold and desperate attempt to bring her brother home and salvage what's left of their family.

JCC MetroWest Children's Production Company

Presents


  This witty, tongue-in-cheek retelling of a perennial favorite gives us a
possessive mother who happens to be a witch, a tentative young man who
happens to be a prince and a strong-willed but naïve young girl with the
longest hair you're ever likely to come across – not to mention a
contemporary moral about parent-child relationships which will have
young audiences rejoicing. With a book and lyrics by two creators of
the hit television show Friends, rest assured this fairy tale isn't going to be business as usual!

Audition Info:

Prepare an up-tempo song (happy birthday is fine!) to sing a cappella - be prepared to dance.  Come either date or time listed for yoru age group, but be prepared to stay about an hour.  There is a participation fee to be in the show.
