no one is coming to save us

Tuesday, January 27–Friday, January 30, 2026, 7:30 PM | Saturday, January 31, 2026, 2 PM and 7:30 PM

By Lewis Hetherington
Hollace Starr, Director

Maddy is worried that no one is having fun at her party. Her sister, Lily, is worried that the world is falling apart. As this group of friends gather on a mountaintop to watch the sunset, a wildfire sparks into life in the forest below. They drink beer and talk nonsense while the flames race toward them. Direct from the Edinburgh Fringe (’24), this US premiere is about finding fragile hope in the face of an overwhelming environmental threat and the group of young people carrying the flickering flame of belief that things might yet be alright.

No late seating allowed. Join a talkback with the actors and director after the Wednesday, January 28, performance.
