FIRE PIT productions
B
egun in 2018 by Quincy Roers, Fire Pit Production uses the stage at the Lakes Area Theatre for small production plays and provides the community with edgy thought-provoking stage plays. The performances are locally cast. In the summer, shows are performed outdoors, so bring a lawn chair. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door one hour prior to show time. First up on the schedule is Gruesome Playground Injuries, from the book by Rajiv Joseph. A dark comedy/drama that’s not your typical love story, this play centers around Doug and Kayleen, who meet at the nurse’s office in their elementary school. The story line follows the two main characters over the next 30 years as they meet multiple times over their injuries, and create an unconventional love story. Shows will be performed outdoors, weather permitting, with drive-in style theater parking and radio broadcasting available. Masks are not required when seated. A free will offering will be taken.
