Pawk (Broadway's Hollywood Arms) and Obie Award winner Reed Birney (Blasted, Circle Mirror Transformation) play parents to Tony nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger (PH's Saved and Broadway's Spelling Bee), while NAACP Award nominee Victor Williams (of TV's "The King of Queens") plays a construction manager who works for Pawk, whose workaholic character runs a construction firm.
Trip Cullman directs the production. Previews began Dec. 16, 2010, at PH's Mainstage Theater on West 42nd Street. The limited engagement will play through Jan. 23.
Here is a look at the opening night:
PH describes A Small Fire this way: "When a tough-as-nails contractor finds her senses slipping on the brink of her daughter's wedding, the impact on her family is nothing less than seismic. A Small Fire is a human parable in which unexpected loss leads to an unlikely love story."
