It’s 2020 in Berkeley, California, and wildfires are raging. As a gay couple prepares to evacuate, they decide what from the 50 years of their relationship to take with them and what to leave behind. Their preparations take them back to the night they met in a queer commune in Berkeley in radical 1970, when other fires raged through the community and they dared to dream of a better future.
With sincerity and hope, this new play looks to queer history as a lens through which to understand our current moment of climate grief. How do we care for each other in times of crisis? In the words of Tennessee Williams: "We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love."
Director: Kari Barclay

Angel Valenzuela, Assad Khaishgi, Keith Kornajcik, Lil Craig of 2Reel, Nick Eaton, and Robert Masseria
