Designing the aural world of this visceral one-person-show was a memorable experience for our sound team. We have been grateful to bring this show to two theaters during it's run and to work with a phenomenal director like Nicole Brewer and this generous team.
In the late summer of 1991, long-simmering tensions between Black and Jewish residents of Crown Heights, Brooklyn erupted in a series of violent events. Renowned playwright Anna Deavere Smith interviewed more than 100 people about those tension-filled days, creating a striking tapestry of oral histories examining that flashpoint moment in American history. A single performer brings those stories to electrifying life in Fires in the Mirror.
