When telling a story we often find ourselves following a chain of events. One thing leads to another, then to another, and to another, until we finally come to a conclusion only to glance back into the past with the lingering question what if? What if I turned left instead of right? What if I woke up 20 minutes earlier? What if I never even met them to begin with? Through unchronological storytelling Burning Hearts aims to erase the what if? and instead chooses to focus on two individuals and the moments they experience together. As we follow Ash and Ember through their journey of learning how to love. We see just how important it is to live in the moment. And just how quickly an altered timeline can permanently change what comes next.

Trudging their way through the middle of junior year, we catch Leo and Eunice. Two unlikely best friends both caught with their heads in the clouds and the future wide open.

When boundries are crossed, and true colors are shown we see just how far testing the limits of a lifelong friendship will go.

lifelong friends make sure their last night together is the most memorable one yet. In a heartfelt telling of what it's like to just be bros, we follow a group of four with a bond unlike any other. As the untelling future looms over their heads, the gang soaks up one last night of chaos and adventure.

Jumping between time frames we follow John through two very different points of his life. While nothing ever leaves the stage, some stories aren't always as they appear. In this heart throbbing story, we see just how long the memories we form last.

A play based in an altered state, we follow Lee on his not-so-quiet night in. Through merging elements of thought, internal emotions become external and suddenly all inside sounds float together in perfect harmony.

it sings a slightly haunting tune.

Three people. All with places to be, waiting for the bus. One running late, one with clear opinions, and one standing by. All co-existing in the time they have.
