FLICKER AND A FIRESTARTER
(Staged Reading)
By AMY OESTREICHER
Directed by BEN TOSTADO
17-year-old Patricia wakes up in a surgical ICU to find her world forever changed. But even a coma cannot cool the burn of betrayal left from her abuser months before. Flicker and a Firestarter is a poignant story of a family, ripped apart by fire, haunted by shadows, and reignited by the flickers of a heartbreaking past.
The reading was presented at the Nubox Theatre at the John DeSotelle Studio on September 21, 2018.
