Writer/Director Chris Henry has taken a cornucopia of stories from diverse women, solicited actresses familiar with the stage to dramatically enact them against pulsating music and innovative choreography, and presented a fascinating hour (65 minutes to be exact) of emotional theatre – WOMEN ON FIRE; Stories from the Frontlines. From Trump voters and Bill Cosby admirers to Women Marchers and impeachment advocates, the women share a universal bond of being a woman in a man’s world. Their stories are all too familiar. Be prepared to be outraged, embarrassed, sad, amused, cowered, and emboldened. One thing you won’t be is unmoved.

WOMEN ON FIRE packs a powerful punch that makes you hope and pray that this is only the beginning for Chris Henry’s magnificent creation. Not to be missed.
