The Public Theater celebrated the official opening of Rinne Groff's newest work Fire in Dreamland July 16.

Fire in Dreamland is directed by Marissa Wolf and stars Rebecca Naomi Jones and Enver Gjokaj with Kyle Beltran.

In the new play, a disillusioned 30-something woman (Jones) falls for a visionary European filmmaker (Gjokaj) making a film about the historic 1911 Coney Island fire. Performances began June 19 and are scheduled through August 5 in The Public’s Anspacher Theater.
