Only You Can Prevent Wildfires
One of Time Out New York's "most promising" productions of the Fall

"Fascinating...nothing short of brilliant...one of the best off-off Broadway shows I have seen to date" -BroadwayWorld

*One dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to the American Red Cross to support disaster relief efforts, including wildfire relief efforts currently taking place in the Western United States.*

Ricochet Collective (Sherri Eden Barber, Artistic Director; Brandon Pape, Executive Director) presents the World Premiere of Harrison David Rivers' ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT WILDFIRES, co-conceived and directed by Sherri Eden Barber, at Teatro Circulo from October 7th-28th. The performance runs approximately 80 minutes with no intermission.

ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT WILDFIRES explores the true story of Terry Lynn Barton, a forestry technician, who in 2002 started the largest forest fire in Colorado history when she burned a letter from her estranged husband. Under the obsessive scrutiny of investigator Kim Jones, Terry's actions are called into question in a desperate attempt to uncover the motive behind her crime. As we watch Terry's relationship with her husband deteriorate over time, the clues begin to fall into place. Was the fire really an accident, or was it caused by a woman trying desperately to break free?

Featuring: DRAE CAMPBELL*, JOHN J. CONCADO*, MIKAELA IZQUIERDO*, ADAM KELLER, MERYL JONES WILLIAMS*

The production will feature Choreography by CAITLIN BAILEY (Culture Projects Women Center Stage Festival) and ALI PERKINS (Does the Clam Have a Heart at Triskelion Arts), Scenic Design by CLIFTON CHADICK (The 20th Century Way at Rattlestick; In Fields Where They Lay at The New Ohio), Costume Design by STEPHANIE LEVIN (Going to See The Kid at Merrimack Rep; Happy After Ever at 59E59), Lighting Design by SERENA WONG (Gordy Crashes at IRT Theater), Original Music & Sound Design by MARK VAN HARE (3/FIFTHS at 3LD; Nutcracker Rouge with Company XIV), Projection Design by JOEY MORO (Orange Julius at Rattlestick), and Production Stage Manager ELIZABETH ANN GOODMAN*.
